How are symmetric and asymmetric keys used together?

A.
An asymmetric key encrypts the symmetric key

B.
An asymmetric key encrypts bulk and symmetric keys encrypt a small amount of data

C.
An asymmetric key is used and then encrypted with a symmetric key

D.
A symmetric key encrypts the data and then the asymmetric key encrypts both of them

Explanation:
A symmetric algorithm creates keys that are used for encrypting bulk
data, and an asymmetric algorithm creates keys that are used for automated key
distribution.
