This is an easy one. A and D are the way to go. The exploit is designed to take advantage of a specific application, and it can be automatically triggered - no need to actually run the attachment.

I'm not sure about that, I believe the exploit can do damage only if it downloads a piece of malware.

Haha, C is a classic! Buffer overflow, really? I'd go with A and D, since the exploit relies on the user's system and can be activated without even running the file.

I'm not sure about C, but I agree that A and D are the right choices. The exploit needs a vulnerable application to work, and it can be triggered by simply opening the email.
