B
Cryptography
C
Staganography
D
Watermarking
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Cryptanalysis is the art & science of cracking the cipher-text without knowing the key. This technique is also implemented for designing new cryptographic algorithms or to test their strengths.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cryptology-Cryptology is the art and science of making and breaking codes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cryptanalysis is the study and process of analyzing and decrypting ciphers, codes, and encrypted text without using the real key. Alternately, we can say it’s the technique of accessing a communication’s plain text content when you don’t have access to the decryption key.

Detailed explanation-4: -3) Cryptanalysis: the art of breaking cryptosystems-seeing through the disguise even when you’re not supposed to be able to. 4) Cryptology: the study of both cryptography and cryptanalysis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Key Terms. Cryptology is the science of secure communications. Cryptography creates messages with hidden meaning; cryptanalysis is the science of breaking those encrypted messages to recover their meaning.
