Opted Answer: A
The Ping of Death attack involves exploiting the ICMP protocol and IP fragmentation. Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

The attacker sends an ICMP (ping) packet that is larger than the maximum allowed size of 65,535 bytes.
This oversized packet gets fragmented into multiple, smaller packets by the attacker’s system before sending.
The receiving system tries to reassemble these fragments back into the larger packet.
The reassembly process fails because the packet exceeds the maximum size, causing the system to crash or freeze.
