Question

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:

To send cryptocurrency, the sender uses the recipient's public key. If Kyron used the wrong public key, the funds would be sent to the wrong address (not his friend's), so his friend wouldn't receive it. Using the wrong private key would affect his ability to send from his own wallet (not the recipient's receipt). Choosing the wrong block or public ledger is not relevant to a specific transfer’s recipient not receiving funds, as blockchains have one ledger and blocks are part of the chain’s structure, not directly related to address accuracy.

Answer:

A. He used the wrong public key.
