A regulation requires new applicants to provide a scan of their retinas in case of any future legal questions regarding who applied for the position. Which of the following concepts is this an example of?

  1. Authorization

  2. Multi-factor authentication

  3. Authentication

  4. Encryption

The correct answer is: Authentication

This is an example of authentication because it involves verifying the identity of individuals by scanning their retinas, in order to ensure they are the rightful applicants for the position. Authorization refers to granting access to certain resources or information. Multi-factor authentication involves using multiple forms of identity verification, such as a password and a fingerprint. Encryption involves protecting data by converting it into a code. These options do not fully capture the concept being described in the question, making them incorrect choices.
