Ah, the good old 'mail bomb' - the email equivalent of a pipe bomb, am I right? Just gotta watch out for those exploding inboxes, you know?

D) Email spoofing? That's when you forge the sender's address, not the volume of emails. Nice try, but B) Mail bombing is the way to go for this one.

C) Phishing? Nah, that's more about tricking people into revealing sensitive information, not flooding a server. Gotta stay focused on the specific question here.

Hmm, I was thinking maybe A) Email spamming, but I guess that's more about sending unwanted commercial messages, not necessarily trying to crash a server. Good to know the difference!

B) Mail bombing is the correct answer! Sending huge volumes of email to overwhelm a server definitely sounds like the textbook definition of a denial-of-service attack.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) Email spamming because it involves sending a lot of emails.
