D) Related-key attack is the correct answer here. It's like a game of crypto-Tetris, where the attacker tries to fit all the different key shapes together until they find the winning combination.

Hmm, I'm going to have to go with D) Related-key attack on this one. It's like the crypto version of finding your long-lost cousin on social media, but with way more equations.

D) Related-key attack, of course! I mean, how else are we supposed to crack the code if the keys are all related - like a family reunion, but with more math.

Related-key attack? Isn't that like when the attacker has a VIP pass to the crypto party, and they can try on all the different key outfits until they find the perfect match?
