Answer
- C Filtering at the internet provider
- D An upstream DDoS protection service
Explanation
In a distributed attack from a botnet, manually blocking individual addresses is hopeless. Effective measures are services with large capacity that filter traffic before it reaches your own line, and coordination with the provider. Passwords have nothing to do with availability attacks.
