Hah, imagine if Alibaba Cloud just had a giant neon sign that said 'Private Keys Here' pointing to a filing cabinet. That would be hilarious, but also the worst idea ever.

D sounds like a bad idea. Keeping private keys in memory in plaintext? That's a big no-no for security best practices.

C is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if Alibaba Cloud uses symmetric encryption for their private keys. Seems like a potential vulnerability.

I'm not sure, but I think option D could also be correct. The keys are loaded into memory in plaintext format ONLY when needed, which sounds secure.

A seems like the most logical choice. Alibaba Cloud would never store private keys in plaintext, that's just asking for trouble.
