Answers
D.
DDoS
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

The logs indicate a sudden surge in access requests to the website's homepage, followed by 502 errors, which are indicative of server overload or failure to handle incoming requests. This pattern is typical of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, where multiple compromised systems flood the target with traffic, exceeding its capacity to handle requests, leading to service disruption.
