Solution

The correct answer is D: Both A and B. Both Dos Attack and Phishing are types of computer threats. A Dos Attack, or Denial-of-Service attack, is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. Phishing is a type of attack where the attacker pretends to be a reputable entity or person in email or other communication channels. The attacker's goal is to steal sensitive data like credit card numbers and login information. On the other hand, Soliciting is not a type of computer threat. It's a term often used in legal contexts, and while it can involve unwanted or harmful behavior, it's not specific to computers or networks.
