Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

AWS Shield is mainly for DDos Attacks.

AWS WAF is mainly for some other types of attacks like Injection and XSS etc In this scenario, It seems it is WAF functionality that is needed. VPC logs do show the source and destination IP and Port , they never show any URL .. because URL are level 7 while VPC are concerned about lover network levels. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/flow-logs.html
