D Correct answer
Explanation

In asymmetric cryptography, the public key is designed for distribution and encryption - revealing it doesn't compromise security. Encrypted data itself can be public without weakening the encryption. However, revealing the private key (asymmetric) or symmetric key would allow decryption, breaking confidentiality entirely.
