A Correct answer
Explanation

Cryptography provides four fundamental security functions: Authenticity (verifying the origin of data), Confidentiality (keeping data secret), Integrity (ensuring data is unaltered), and Non-repudiation (preventing denial of actions). Option A correctly lists all four. Options B, C, and D describe other security processes (incident response, basic operations, audit procedures) but not the core functions of cryptography itself.
