Question

the verification function does which of the following?
○ a. proves that a tool performs as intended.
○ b. creates segmented files.
○ c. proves that two sets of data are identical via hash values.
○ d. verifies hex editors.

Explanation:

A verification function in data/technical contexts often uses hash values to confirm that two datasets are identical by comparing their computed hash outputs. Option a refers to tool validation, b describes file segmentation, and d is unrelated to the core purpose of a verification function.

Answer:

c. Proves that two sets of data are identical via hash values.
