   A security analyst is categorizing three ongoing attacks: (1) a UDP flood saturating the 10 Gbps uplink, (2) a flood of incomplete TCP handshakes exhausting the firewall's state table, and (3) a high rate of HTTP requests for a dynamic search endpoint causing CPU saturation. Which option correctly maps each attack to its vector category?

   • A1=volumetric, 2=protocol, 3=application-layer
   • B1=volumetric, 2=application-layer, 3=protocol
   • C1=protocol, 2=volumetric, 3=application-layer
   • D1=application-layer, 2=protocol, 3=volumetric
