B. The attacker should leverage a botnet to launch a Pulse Wave attack, sending high-volume traffic pulses at regular intervals A Pulse Wave DDoS attack is a sophisticated variation that involves alternating periods of attack intensity and brief pauses, making it more challenging for traditional mitigation techniques to detect and respond effectively. This approach can help the attacker achieve their objective of exhausting network resources while concealing their identity. Additionally, leveraging a botnet enhances the attacker's ability to generate a massive volume of traffic, making it even more challenging for the targeted online retailer to mitigate the attack.

I was thinking it was "D" due to anonymity being a requirement.
