I'm stumped on this one. Wait, is the answer E? Dr. Alice's session key? That would make the most sense, right?

Haha, this exam question is testing us on some serious crypto knowledge. I bet the answer is D - Bob's private key. That's the only way he can be sure it's from Dr. Alice.

I'm going with option C - Bob's public key. That's how encryption works, the recipient uses the sender's public key to decrypt the message.
