I'm going with B. Spear phishing is the more personalized attack, while deceptive phishing casts a wider net. Gotta watch out for those sneaky phishers!

Haha, D sounds like something out of a spy movie! Hijacking the DNS server, that's some next-level phishing right there.

Option B seems correct to me. Spear phishing is targeted at a specific individual, while deceptive phishing is a more broad attack.
