Using the Next Generation Encryption technologies, which is the minimum acceptable encryption level to protect sensitive information?
A. AES 92 bits
B. AES 128 bits
C. AES 256 bits
D. AES 512 bits
Using the Next Generation Encryption technologies, which is the minimum acceptable encryption level to protect sensitive information?

C. AES 256 bits
D. AES 512 bits
fixing my previous answer
AES with 128-bit keys provides adequate protection for sensitive information. AES with 256-bit keys is required to protect classified information of higher importance.

AES 128 bits correct answer
Yes AES 256 bits
Appendix A: Minimum Cryptography Recommendations
The following table lists recommended cryptographic algorithms that satisfy minimum security requirements for technology as of October 2015.
Table 3. Recommended Minimum Security Algorithms
Operation Recommended Minimum Security Algorithms
Encryption
AES-128-CBC mode
Authentication RSA-3072, DSA-3072
Integrity SHA-256
Key exchange DH Group 15 (3072-bit)
so does this mean the coreect answer is C
