Ooh, I know this one! It's gotta be B) A One-time pad. Using a unique key every time is the whole point of a one-time pad. Easy peasy!

Haha, this is a tough one! I'm going to guess E) A symmetric cipher just because it sounds the funniest. But in all seriousness, I think B) A One-time pad is the correct answer.

This is a tricky one, but I'm going to go with D) An asymmetric cipher. The unique key aspect makes me think of public-key cryptography.

I'm pretty sure it's B) A One-time pad. It's specifically designed to use a unique key each time.

Actually, I believe it is E) A symmetric cipher. It also uses a unique key for encryption and decryption.

I think the answer is B) A One-time pad. Using a unique key every time sounds like a perfect description of a one-time pad.

Yeah, One-time pad is the way to go for that kind of encryption.

I agree, using a unique key every time definitely points to a One-time pad.
