question 5 of 10
kyron thought he successfully sent cryptocurrency to his friend. he has a confirmation that it was sent. but his friend showed him proof that she never received it. what did kyron most likely do wrong?
he used the wrong public key.
he use the wrong private key.
he chose the wrong block on the blockchain.
he chose the wrong public ledger.

Explanation:

In cryptocurrency transactions, the public key is used to receive funds. If the wrong public key is used, the recipient (in this case, Kyron's friend) will not receive the cryptocurrency. The private key is for signing transactions (not for receiving), the blockchain's blocks are part of the transaction's recording process (not typically chosen by the user in this way), and the public ledger (blockchain) is a shared record - using the wrong one is not a common user - level error compared to using the wrong public key.

Answer:

He used the wrong public key.
