Quizplus · Accepted Answer

E-mail bombing is a type of DoS attack in which an attacker floods an email inbox with hundreds or thousands of messages, making it impossible for the user to access their legitimate emails. Firewalling, filtering, and routing are not types of DoS attacks. Ping storm is a less common type of attack compared to smurfing. Smurfing is a type of DoS attack that leverages Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to flood a victim system with ping requests from multiple systems, amplifying the attack volume. Therefore, the correct choice is C - smurfing.
