Option A is like handing the bad guys the keys to the kingdom. Definitely not the way to go. Who came up with that one, a supervillain?

D seems like the way to go. Change the passwords and keys periodically? At least that way, when they get stolen, they won't be valid for long. Smart move.

Option C is a classic. 'Hey, let's put the security credentials right in the source code! What could go wrong?' Hard no from me.

Storing them in a hidden file? More like hidden in plain sight. Guess the hackers will just have to look a little harder. Nope, not option B.

Embedding sensitive information directly in the code? That's like putting the keys to your house under the doormat. Hard pass on option A.
