I bet the answer is B, but I'm also curious if TACACS+ encrypts the password with a secret handshake and a decoder ring. Just kidding, but seriously, encryption is important in these networking protocols.

This is a tough one, but I'm leaning towards B. TACACS+ is the more secure option, encrypting both the username and password. RADIUS is just playing it safe with the password.

I'm going with C. TACACS+ encrypts the password, but RADIUS sends the entire packet in clear text. That's just asking for trouble, if you ask me.

I think the answer is B. TACACS+ encrypts the username and password, while RADIUS only encrypts the password. It makes sense that the more secure protocol would encrypt everything.
