I believe the correct answer is B) MD5 because it is commonly used for digital evidence validation.

I'm not sure, but I think SHA-1 also produces a 128-bit message digest.

Personally, I'd go with D) SHA-512. It's like the bodybuilder of hash algorithms, with a whopping 512 bits. Gotta go big or go home, right?

C'mon, folks, let's not go for the outdated MD5. SHA-1 is where it's at! 160 bits of pure cryptographic goodness.

True, but for a 128-bit message digest, we should go with MD5.

But what about SHA-512? It's even stronger with 512 bits.

Ah, yes! The good old MD5, the hash algorithm that's older than my grandpa's vintage car. Can't go wrong with that one, can we?
