Yes, Justine, option D could also be exploited for DDoS attacks.

B makes the most sense to me. Anonymous users shouldn't have access to forms at all. It's just asking for trouble. Keep that stuff locked down tight, I say.

But what about option D? Could that also be a security concern?

Haha, this question is like a bad joke. Anonymous users with a file upload field? That's like leaving the front door wide open and saying 'come on in, hackers!'

I agree with Lashandra, allowing anonymous users to upload files can be risky.

D, all the way! A long message field? That's a disaster waiting to happen. Timeout the form and open up the site to DDoS? Yikes, no thank you!

Hmm, I don't know about that. A seems pretty reasonable to me. As long as the fields are just plain text, what could go wrong, right? Oh, wait, you said 'attachment'? Nevermind, C is the clear choice here.

Whoa, that's a tricky one! I'd say C is the way to go - letting anonymous users upload files? That's just asking for trouble. Hackers could have a field day with that one.

That's a good point, allowing anonymous users to upload files can definitely pose a security risk.
