A. Denial of Service Attack The repeated identical log entry suggests a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, where a single source floods the server with requests to make it unavailable to legitimate users. Since there is no indication of multiple IP addresses, it is likely a DoS rather than a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, which would involve multiple sources.

Selected Answer: A
A. Denial of Service Attack. This suggests that the web server is being overwhelmed by repeated requests from a single source (the IP address 147.186.119.200), which can lead to the server becoming unavailable to legitimate users. If the attack were coming from multiple sources, it would be classified as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, but in this case, the log indicates a single source.
