I'm pretty sure the answer is C) The Key Distribution Center (KDC). It's the central authority that manages the cryptographic keys for secure communication.

Haha, if it was up to me, I'd just skip the whole SSL/TLS thing and send the data in plain text. Who needs security, am I right? (Just kidding, please don't fail me.)

I was going to say B) The database server, but now I'm not so sure. Hmm, this is a tricky one.

I agree with Deangelo, the KDC is responsible for providing the symmetric key for securing the data in transit.

I think the correct answer is C) The Key Distribution Center (KDC). That's where the symmetric keys are typically generated and distributed to the endpoints and servers.
