D.
Spike control
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Spike control >> First things first, HTTP Caching policy is for purposes different than avoiding the backend system from overloading. So this is OUT.>> Rate Limiting and Throttling/ Spike Control policies are designed to limit API access, but have different intentions.>> Rate limiting protects an API by applying a hard limit on its access.>> Throttling/ Spike Control shapes API access by smoothing spikes in traffic.That is why, Spike Control is the right option.
