A.
resources with user ID and password
B.
resources with signature-based authentication
C.

Agree with Arch_Angel and gaz1978, that is what the question calls for the count, not to avoid it

C looks correct.

Re: 350-601 topic 1 question 469

The question states 'engineer must ensure APIC count the requests'

Authentication with user-id and password.

In this method, it will obtain an authentication token from Cisco APIC and will use that token to authenticate. A limitation with this approach is APIC counts the request

This is what the question asked for so I think it is C

C is the answer

Answer is D.
APIC counts the request to authenticate and threshold it to avoid DOS attack. After too many attempts this authentication method may fail as the threshold will be exceeded. To avoid the above-mentioned problem Cisco APIC supports signature-based authentication.
