Suggested Answer: D

Gooseberry is not a type of cyber attack. The others---birthday attacks, phishing, and man-in-the-middle---are real cybersecurity threats. Other common attacks include malware, denial of service (DoS), drive-by attacks, password attacks, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and eavesdropping. (P.146)

A birthday attack? I'd love to get a cake and some presents, but that's not a real cyber threat. D is the clear choice here.

Birthday attack? Sounds like a party, not a cyber threat! D is the only answer that doesn't make sense.
