A
Correct Answer
They control the rate at which requests are processed or allowed, smoothing bursts and enforcing limits over time

Token bucket and leaky bucket algorithms manage request rates by allowing tokens to accumulate up to a limit (token bucket) or processing requests at a fixed rate while queuing excess (leaky bucket).
