Explanation

DNS poisoning (also called DNS spoofing) is an attack where the victim is redirected to a falsified DNS location. The attacker corrupts the DNS cache or response to redirect users to malicious sites. 'DNS falsifying' is not standard terminology, 'DNS caching' is a normal function, and 'DNS cracking' is not a recognized attack type.
