Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

The payload D is used to access the metadata service of the laaS compute instance, which can provide information about the running process credentials, such as the instance ID, the service account, and the SSH keys. This is a common technique for exploiting cloud-based web applications that do not properly secure their metadata service. The other payloads are not effective for this purpose, as they either try to access the cookie data (A), the environment variables (B), or perform a SQL injection attack , which are not related to the running process credentials.
