Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Encryption algorithm
A
the formula for encrypting (coding) the plaintext (normal message)
B
the encrypted (coded) message
C
the original message to be encrypted (coded)
D
Changing data so that it can no longer be understood without a decryption(decode) key
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To encrypt a plaintext M using an RSA public key we simply represent the plaintext as a number between 0 and N-1 and then compute the ciphertext C as: C = Me mod N.

Detailed explanation-2: -Encryption/Decryption Function Once you generate the keys, you pass the parameters to the functions that calculate your ciphertext and plaintext using the respective key. If the plaintext is m, ciphertext = me mod n. If the ciphertext is c, plaintext = cd mod n.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, s = SIGNATURE(p) = p ^ d % z. Then, the recipient can verify the digital signature by applying the encryption function and comparing the result with the message. For example, m = VERIFY(s) = S ^ e % z.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plaintext is what encryption algorithms, or ciphers, transform an encrypted message into. It is any readable data-including binary files-in a form that can be seen or utilized without the need for a decryption key or decryption device.
