Hmm, I'm not sure. D seems a bit strange - 'sum' instead of 'count'? I'm leaning towards C, but I'll double-check the docs just in case.

I think D is the correct answer because we need to sum the count of failed attempts by IP address.

Option C looks good to me. The 'stats' command is perfect for aggregating the failed login attempts by IP address.
