I believe it's A) denial of service because the attack is causing other virtual servers to become unavailable.

A) denial of service. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Or in this case, a very angry, resource-hogging virtual duck.

This is a tricky one, but I'm going to say A) denial of service. I mean, who else but a bunch of hackers would be playing 'the floor is lava' with a physical server?

I'm going with A) denial of service. It's the only option that fits the scenario of a malicious user causing the other virtual servers to become unavailable.

I think the answer is A) denial of service. The description matches the symptoms of a DoS attack, where a malicious actor overwhelms the system's resources.

That's correct. A DoS attack aims to make a server or network resource unavailable to its intended users.

Definitely a denial of service attack. The question clearly states that other virtual servers are becoming unavailable due to increased usage loads. This is the classic definition of a DoS attack.
