Hmm, I think C) SHA-1 is the correct answer. It's been a staple in the industry for years, and it's got that nice 160-bit digest length. Totally trustworthy, right?

I agree with Nina, MD5 produces a 128-bit message digest.

B) MD5 is the way to go. It's a classic hash algorithm that's been around for ages. Plus, I heard it's great for generating unique passwords that are totally secure and never get hacked.

A) CRC-32 is not the correct answer. It does not produce a message digest that is 128 bits long.
