Why each option

Cisco DDoS Attack Prevention is designed to automatically block malicious traffic and respond within seconds of detecting an attack, without redirecting traffic back to attackers or relying on ThreatGrid malware sandboxing.

ABlock or allow traffic automaticallyCorrect

Automatically blocking or allowing traffic is a core DDoS prevention capability - the solution uses behavioral analysis and traffic scrubbing to distinguish attack traffic from legitimate traffic and enforce allow/block decisions without manual intervention.

BRedirects DDoS traffic back to attacker

Redirecting DDoS traffic back to an attacker is not a feature of Cisco DDoS prevention - traffic is scrubbed or dropped, not reflected back toward the source.

CLeveraging AMP ThreatGrid technology

AMP ThreatGrid is a file sandboxing and malware analysis technology used for endpoint and network threat detection, and is not a component of DDoS attack prevention.

DStop attacks within seconds of detectionCorrect

Stopping attacks within seconds of detection is a critical design goal of DDoS prevention, achieved through real-time traffic analysis and automated mitigation that activates immediately upon attack signature identification.
