b. Spoof
c. Smurf attack

b. Spoof and d. Directed broadcast
Explanation: Spoofing is inserting a different IP address in place of an IP packet's source address to make it appear that the packet came from another network. A SYN attack refers to the opening up of many TCP sessions to limit access to network services. Smurf attacks are ways to generate a large amount of data traffic using a small packet. A directed broadcast attack sends many broadcasts to a specific subnet and is used to conduct other attacks.
