A Correct answer
Explanation

Cryptography provides four fundamental security services: authenticity (verifying the sender's identity), confidentiality (keeping data secret), integrity (ensuring data isn't tampered with), and non-repudiation (preventing senders from denying their actions). These are the core security functions defined in cryptography standards. Options B and D describe incident response or audit processes, not cryptographic functions.
