Explanation

DNS spoofing (A) involves corrupting a DNS resolver's cache with false records, redirecting users to malicious IP addresses instead of legitimate ones. An ARP attack (E), also known as ARP poisoning or ARP spoofing, involves sending fake ARP messages to associate the attacker's MAC address with a legitimate IP address, redirecting local network traffic. These two attacks are frequently used together: ARP poisoning redirects traffic at Layer 2 (local network), while DNS spoofing redirects traffic at the name resolution layer. Together they form a powerful interception mechanism. A man-in-the-middle (B) is often the goal or result of combining these two attacks, not the attack method itself.
