I feel like we had a question similar to this in our last mock exam, and I think it was also about IP address spoofing.

I’m a bit confused. I thought a Man-in-the-middle attack was more about intercepting data rather than changing an IP address.

I remember discussing the differences between these attacks, and I feel like IP address spoofing was specifically about changing one's identity online.

I think the answer might be A) IP address spoofing, but I'm not entirely sure. It sounds familiar from our last practice session.
