If I recall correctly, the main purpose of a virtualized browser is to isolate and protect against malware, so D seems like the right choice.

I'm a bit confused; I thought brute force attacks were more about passwords, so I'm not sure how the browser would help with that.

I remember practicing with similar questions, and I feel like DDOS attacks are more about network issues rather than browser protection.

I think the virtualized browser mainly helps with malware installation from unknown websites, but I'm not entirely sure.
