A (HMACSHA256) is a cryptographic algorhythm using a hash, sign the result and encrypt this by using RNGCryptoServiceProvider. So I would say A is the correct answer and RNGCryptoServiceProvider is only the name of the encrypt/Decrypt service. C is a old algorythm and D. = Aes didn`t use hash and I`ve read that it is used more in digital systems.
