The correct answer is HTTP Response-Splitting Attack. CEH web server coverage explains that HTTP response splitting occurs when attacker-controlled input is inserted into HTTP headers or response metadata in a way that allows the server to split one intended response into two separate responses or response segments. The question specifically describes crafted delimiter characters changing the structure of the outbound response and causing the browser to interpret the injected content as a separate directive, including attacker-influenced redirection. That is the classic behavior of response splitting. Directory traversal would involve unauthorized path navigation to restricted files or directories. Web cache poisoning focuses on corrupting cached responses so later users receive malicious or altered content, which is related conceptually but not the direct mechanism described here. CEH materials present HTTP response splitting as a means to an end, often used to trigger redirect behavior or facilitate secondary attacks by controlling the second response or header content. Because the attacker manipulates server output into multiple response components within a single transaction, HTTP Response-Splitting is the most precise answer.
