I don't think so, logging is just keeping a record of the requests.

I think C) Shunning is the answer. Blocking that IP from accessing the network is a smart way to protect against repeated attacks.

C) Shunning - that sounds like the right action to take against a malicious IP address. Rejecting requests from it is the way to go.
