A corporation uses both hardware-based and cloud-based solutions to distribute incoming traffic and absorb DDoS...

The CEH DDoS Mitigation Strategies section explains that load balancing distributes traffic across multiple servers or infrastructure components to prevent any single resource from being overwhelmed.

By using hardware load balancers and cloud-based traffic distribution, organizations can:

Absorb large volumes of attack traffic

Maintain service availability

Ensure legitimate users are served

Option B is correct and directly matches CEH’s definition.

Option A drops all traffic, including legitimate requests.

Option C focuses on traffic analysis rather than distribution.

Option D limits traffic rather than distributing it.

CEH strongly recommends load balancing as a core DDoS resilience mechanism.
