C Correct answer
Explanation

Server path disclosure occurs when absolute file system paths are exposed. 'd:/etc/host/pwd' is a Windows absolute path revealing server directory structure, helping attackers understand layout and plan attacks. Relative paths (../) don't show server location. HTML comments and JavaScript strings are client-side and don't directly expose server paths.
