Which solution meets these requirements?
A. Create an AWS WAF rate-based rule, and attach it to the ALB.
B. Update the security group that is attached to the ALB to block the attacking IP addresses.
C. Update the ALB subnet’s network ACL to block the attacking client IP addresses.
D. Create a AWS WAF rate-based rule, and attach it to the security group of the EC2 instances.
