Ha! I bet the person who wrote this question is a real SSH wizard. Probably has a secret SSH handshake and everything.

I believe it's A) ~/.ssh/known_hosts because that's where the server keys are compared.

D) ~/.ssh/id_dsA.pub? What is this, a trick question? That's the public key file, not the one that stores the server's public key.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be C) ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

I was stuck between A and C, but I think A makes more sense since it's the file that keeps track of the known hosts.

A) ~/.ssh/known_hosts is the correct answer. This file stores the public keys of the SSH servers you've connected to in the past.

I agree with Raul, because known_hosts is where the server keys are stored.
