Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The hashPassword method requires both the password and accountName parameters. The accountName is typically used as a salt or to ensure uniqueness of hashes across accounts. Option A only takes the password, which would result in identical passwords producing identical hashes - a security vulnerability. Option C has incorrect capitalization.
