Answer options

• B. It verifies integrity.
• C. It provides increased confidentiality.
• D. It integrates with DRMs.
• E. It verifies the recipient's identity.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers, A and B, highlight that digital signatures provide assurance regarding the source of the code and confirm that the code has not been altered. Options C, D, E, and F do not accurately reflect the primary benefits of digital signatures, as they focus on aspects like confidentiality, DRM integration, recipient identity, and malware detection, which are not the main functions of digital signatures.
