D is correct

The most widely used asymmetric encryption algorithm is RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) algorithm.

D. RSA RSA is an algorithm that provides asymmetric encryption, which means that it uses a pair of keys, one for encryption and one for decryption. Data is encrypted with the public key and can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key. RSA is widely used in various applications, such as digital signatures, software protection, and secure communications. 3DES, RC4, and AES are symmetric encryption algorithms which means they use the same key for encryption and decryption. 3DES is a symmetric-key block cipher that applies the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm three times to each data block. RC4 is a symmetric stream cipher, it's known for its simplicity and speed AES is a symmetric block cipher that supports key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits.
