What values are not commonly used in this key generation process?

The generation of keys that are made up of random values is referred to as Key Derivation Functions (KDFs). What values are not commonly used in this key generation process?

A.
Hashing values

B.
Asymmetric values

C.
Salts

D.
Passwords

Explanation:
B: Different values can be used independently or together to play the role of random key material. The algorithm is created to use specific hash, passwords, and\or salt values, which will go through a certain number of rounds of mathematical functions dictated by the algorithm.
