Ah, the age-old question of buffer overflows. I bet the developers who wrote this question are just sitting back and laughing at us all stumbling around trying to figure it out.

I'm going to have to go with D. Quality assurance is so important, but it's often overlooked in the race to release new features. That's a recipe for buffer overflow disaster.

I'm going with B. High bandwidth and large number of users. The more people using the software, the more likely a buffer overflow is to occur, right? That's my logic, at least.

C'mon, really? Bad permissions on files? That's not even close. The answer is clearly D. Sloppy programming is the root cause of most buffer overflows.
