If authentication and authorization were a couple, they'd be the Bonnie and Clyde of cybersecurity. Totally inseparable, but in very different ways!

Authentication and authorization? More like 'auto-matic' and 'auto-rization'! Am I right, or am I right?

A? What?! How can there be no difference between these two? That's like saying there's no difference between a lock and a key. Crazy talk!

D for sure! Authentication is like the bouncer at the club, checking your ID. Authorization is the VIP list, deciding what you can do once you're in.

Hmm, I think it's C. Authorization is all about what you can do, while authentication is just about confirming your identity. Gotta keep those straight, you know?
