D. Salting
Salting involves adding random data to the input of a one-way hash function to ensure that the same input will produce different hash values, thus making it more difficult for attackers to use precomputed hash tables (rainbow tables) to reverse engineer the original input.
salting is adding of random data to an existing hash to in order to increase the integrity of the hash by then performing a hash function producing hash values. it is used to prevent rainbow table attack (using precomputed hash tables).

In the context of CompTIA Security+, salting is a technique used to enhance the security of stored passwords. It involves adding a random value, known as a "salt," to a password before hashing it. This process helps to prevent various types of attacks, such as rainbow table attacks and certain brute-force attacks.

Salting is used to add extra complexity before using a one-way data transformation algorithm, such as a hash function. Salting involves adding a unique, random value to the input data before it is processed by the hash function, making it more resistant to certain types of attacks like rainbow table attacks.
Key stretching is used for weak keys, it will hash the pw, then hash that, then hash the hash of the hash and so forth. Makes the cracking process longer for the attacker
Salting is adding random or unique extra character to the password so when cracked it is not the actual PW the attacker thinks
