D should not the answer. Network is secured. How can session id be captured?

E should not be right answer, too. It’s VPN connection and attacker identity is already known. If your identity is known, why you will conduct DoS attack?

C should not be right answer, too. User-generated content is not allowed.

So, the answer A and C.

D and E. A, B, C will be possible only if the application allows user generated content.
D is majorly caused by url re-writting because the sesdion ID will be appended to the URL.
E is possible irrespective of the security features that have been put in place
