Suggested Answer: A

CBC-MAC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC-MAC

A cipher block chaining message authentication code (CBC-MAC) is a technique for constructing a message authentication code from a block cipher. The message is encrypted with some block cipher algorithm in CBC mode to create a chain of blocks such that each block depends on the proper encryption of the previous block. This interdependence ensures that a change to any of the plaintext bits will cause the final encrypted block to change in a way that cannot be predicted or counteracted without knowing the key to the block cipher. Using in WPA2 for integrity check and provides security against a replay attack.

Hold on, did they say 'Symmetric algorithm'? I thought we were learning about asymmetric encryption. This exam is really messing with my head.

Wait, isn't IDEA the algorithm used to encrypt your data before sending it to the government? Kidding, kidding, I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

I was gonna say IDEA, but then I remembered that IDEA stands for 'International Data Encryption Algorithm', so it has to be IDEA. Nailed it!

DES has a 64-bit block size, so that can't be it. My money's on IDEA, sounds like a perfect match.

Hmm, IDEA does fit the details, but CAST could also be a possibility. I'm not sure, this one's tricky.
