C Correct answer
Explanation

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor TLS (Transport Layer Security) are used to encrypt netbanking traffic. MD5 is a hash function, not encryption. 'MD5-RSA' is not a standard term. AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm but is used within SSL/TLS, not as the primary protocol. Banking sites use HTTPS, which relies on SSL/TLS.
