Selected Answer: A
A. Verify a password in a secure way. Explanation: One-way hash functions are commonly used to securely verify passwords. When a user creates a password, the system hashes the password and stores the hash. During login, the entered password is hashed again, and the hash is compared with the stored hash. This method ensures that the actual password is never stored or transmitted, enhancing security.
