I was going to choose C, but then I realized the host key is about the server, not the user keys. B is the way to go. SSH is all about verifying identities, and the host key is the server's way of doing that.

Wait, the SSH host key is the server's identity, not the client's? That makes a lot more sense now. B is definitely the right answer. *laughs* I was overthinking this one!

Hmm, I was leaning towards D, but I think B is the better answer. The host key is for the server, not the client. It's like the server's way of introducing itself to the client.

I'm going with B as well. The host key is crucial for establishing a secure connection and making sure you're talking to the right server. Otherwise, anyone could impersonate the server and steal your data.

I was a bit confused at first, but B makes the most sense. The host key is like a digital signature that the server uses to prove its identity to the client. Pretty neat stuff!
