A. B. C. D.D.
When requesting an SSL certificate, a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is typically submitted to a Certificate Authority (CA). The CSR contains information about the entity requesting the certificate, including the public key that will be included in the certificate.
The CA then uses the information in the CSR to create a signed certificate, which is typically provided in one of several formats, including PEM, CRT, or DER.
PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) is a base64-encoded format that is commonly used for certificates and keys. It is a text-based format that includes both the certificate and the private key in a single file.
CRT (Certificate) is a binary format that contains only the certificate, without the private key.
DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) is a binary format that is similar to CRT but uses a different encoding scheme.
In summary, the answer to the question is D, CSR, as it is the information submitted to the CA when requesting an SSL certificate. However, the format of the certificate itself may vary depending on the CA and the specific requirements of the application or system using the certificate.
