A.
MAC

B.
Mutual authentication

C.
Three factor authentication

D.
Two factor authentication

Explanation:
In mutual authentication not only does the server (in this case the banks Web server)
authenticate the client, but the client authenticates the
server. For example some banks now have a user pick an image and a phrase that is stored. When
they enter their user name, the bank Web
site will display their pre-selected image and phrase, before the user enters their password. If the
user does not see their unique
image/phrase combination, then this is not really the bank Web site.
