I'm a bit unsure about this question. I think the salting technique might be the right answer, but I'm not 100% confident. I'll have to review the material again before deciding.

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I think I'll go with option C - applying the salting technique. That should help protect the passwords from being cracked one by one.
