Ooh, I got this! It's gotta be A, Alice's public key. That's how you encrypt stuff for her, right? DH is all about public/private key pairs.

Haha, this is a tricky one! I bet the answer is B, Alice's private key. That would be way too easy though, so I'm probably wrong.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I was thinking it might be C, the session key. Isn't that what's used for encrypting the actual message after the DH key exchange?

I think it's D, Bob's public key. That's how DH works, right? You use the other person's public key to encrypt the message.

That makes sense. The public key is used for encryption in DH.
