Explanation

Bluetooth attacks specifically target the Bluetooth protocol to gain unauthorized access to a device - reading contacts, intercepting messages, executing commands, or pivoting to other attacks - making B the correct answer. Option A describes a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, which is a broader category not specific to Bluetooth. Options C and D both describe Wi-Fi-based attacks (traffic decryption and credential theft), which are entirely different wireless protocols and attack surfaces.

Memory tip: Think "Blue = Break in" - Bluetooth attacks are about unauthorized access, not disruption or Wi-Fi interception. The classic examples (Bluejacking, Bluesnarfing, BlueBorne) all involve an attacker reaching into a device uninvited.
