I agree with Shenika, using her public key adds an extra layer of security to ensure the message is only decrypted by the intended recipient.

Using my private key would allow you to decrypt the message, but using my public key ensures that only you can decrypt it.

Option B seems logical to me. After all, Dr. Alice's public key is the one that should be used to verify her digital signature, right?

But wouldn't it be more secure if I used your private key instead?

I think Bob should use my public key to decrypt the session key.
