Option B is the way to go. Dr. Alice's public key is the one that should be used to verify her digital signature, and it's also the one used to encrypt the session key.

This is a tricky one, but I'm leaning towards C. Bob's public key would be the one used to encrypt the session key, so he can then decrypt it with his private key.

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.

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