Option D is nonsense. If the algorithms are different, they can't be based on the same algorithm.

LOL, option B is hilarious. You can't just swap message digests like they're socks!

I think option C is true. If the hashing algorithms are different, then the message digests will not match.

It's important to use the same hashing algorithm if you want the message digests to match.

Exactly, the hashing algorithms used by Service A and Service B are different, so the message digests will not be the same.

That makes sense. So, they do not match because they are based on different algorithms.
