C) Honey pot could be useful too, but it’s more of a trap than a defense.

I agree, but A) Packet filtering firewall is simpler and still effective for basic attacks.

I think D) Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall is the best choice. It can analyze traffic more deeply.

I disagree with A. Firewalls can be bypassed easily these days.

I practiced a similar question where the SPI firewall was highlighted as a strong defense against DOS attacks, so I might lean towards that option.

I feel like honey pots are more for detecting attacks rather than preventing them, so I don't think that's the answer here.
