Selected Answer: B
B. A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack renders the customer’s cloud inaccessible for 24 hours. This situation is an example of an availability technical impact because it directly affects the ability of users to access the cloud services. Availability impacts involve disruptions in service access or functionality, which is precisely what occurs during a DDoS attack. Such attacks flood a service with excessive traffic, overwhelming the system and preventing legitimate users from accessing the services.
