Denial of Service? Sounds more like a denial of sanity. How about we just deny the whole exam and call it a day?

Brute force? More like brute ignorance. That's the kind of attack that would make even a rock crumble under the pressure.

I believe D) Denial of Service can also have a big impact on compliance, as it disrupts normal operations.
