Which type of DDoS attack masks an attacker's identity?
The correct answer is D. reflection. A reflection DDoS uses intermediary servers to rebound traffic toward the victim while the attacker spoofs the victim’s address, so only the reflectors appear as the source, effectively hiding the attacker’s identity.
