Selected Answer: D
SNMP v1 (A) and SNMP v2c (B) both use plaintext community strings for authentication, making them insecure. SNMP v2u (C) introduced some security improvements but was never widely adopted. SNMP v3 (D) is the first version to support encryption and authentication, ensuring that data is not transmitted in plaintext. It includes features like message integrity, authentication, and encryption (privacy) through protocols such as HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA, and AES/DES encryption.
