If you add rules to take flow statistics out of the router during the DoS attacks, they further slow down and complicate the matter.

(a)  

The primary goal: to overwhelm the target's resources and disrupt its normal operation. However, the scale and complexity of attacks are typically much greater.

• DoS

• DDoS

The primary goal: to exhaust the target's resources, such as bandwidth, CPU, memory, or network connections, to make the system slow down or become completely unresponsive

• DoS

• DDoS

In a DoS attack, there are multiple sources, often forming a botnet, while in a DDoS attack, there is a single source of attack

• True
