If I had a nickel for every time I confused symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, I'd be a rich woman by now!

Wait, isn't MD5 a hashing algorithm, not an encryption algorithm? This is trickier than I thought!

RSA is a public-key encryption algorithm, not a symmetric one. I'm ruling that one out.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Is ECC really a symmetric algorithm? I'll have to think about this a bit more.

3DES is definitely a symmetric encryption algorithm, so I'm going with option A.
