D.
Brute force

Explanation:
Teardrop attack – This is based on the fragmentation implementation of IP whereby
reassembly problems can cause machines to crash. The attack uses a reassembly bug with
overlapping fragments and causes systems to hang or crash. It works for any Internet
Protocol type because it hits the IP layer itself. Engineers should turn off directed
broadcast capability.
