Answer to Question 1

Human error in following procedures, or a lack of procedures, can result in denial of service. For example, humans can inadvertently shut down a Web server or corporate gateway router by starting a computationally intensive application. Computer criminals can launch an intentional denial-of-service attack in which a malicious hacker floods a Web server, for example, with millions of bogus service requests that so occupy the server that it cannot service legitimate requests. Finally, natural disasters may cause systems to fail, resulting in denial of service.

Answer to Question 2

B
