Selected Answer: D

Symmetric encryption is fast and efficient for encrypting data at rest, but it requires secure key distribution because both encryption and decryption use the same key. The Diffie-Hellman (DH) protocol is a widely used method for secure key exchange over an insecure channel without needing prior shared secrets.
