I vaguely recall something about Cross Site Tracing, but I’m not confident it’s related to the HTTPOnly flag. I might need to double-check that.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think the purpose of the HTTPOnly flag is to enhance cookie security by restricting access from JavaScript. That makes me think B is correct.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like the HTTPOnly flag is related to preventing CSRF attacks. I might be mixing it up with something else though.

D) To prevent cookies from being delivered over HTTPS - Oof, that's a big no-no. HTTPOnly is all about keeping the cookies away from JavaScript, not the other way around.
