  1. Answer is A.

    ntp authentication-key number md5 md5-string Defines the authentication key. This key must
    match the value on the NTP server along with the
    ntp trusted-key number value of the
    Cisco CG-OS router in Step 4 below.
    The Cisco CG-OS router does not synchronize to
    the NTP server clocking source unless the
    ntp authentication-key and the ntp trusted-key
    values on the server and the Cisco CG-OS router
    match.
    The range for authentication keys is from 1 to
    65535.
    For the MD5 string, you can enter up to eight
    alphanumeric characters.
