I could be wrong, but I thought session fixation attacks were more about hijacking sessions rather than altering prices in URLs.

This reminds me of a practice question we did on URL manipulation. I feel like parameter tampering fits the scenario best.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about SQL injection being related to database queries, so that doesn't seem right here.

I think this might be a parameter tampering attack since the attacker modified the URL to change the price.

Okay, I've got this. In a defined contribution plan, the employer contributes a set amount, but the employee's benefit depends on the performance of their investments. So the employees are the ones who assume the investment risk, not the employer. I'm confident A is the right answer.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. I need to focus on the key control points in the purchasing process and determine which one would be the most effective in preventing fraud. I think I'll go with option A.
