D Correct answer
Explanation

CRLF (%00%0A = Carriage Return + Line Feed) injection allows attackers to split HTTP responses by injecting malicious headers or content. This technique (HTTP Response Splitting) can lead to cache poisoning, XSS, or credential theft. XSS attacks inject scripts (not CRLF), phishing is social engineering, and SQL injection targets databases (not HTTP responses).
