  A. AES-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard-Galios/Counter Mode) is the correct answer because it provides both encryption and authentication for data plane communication. It uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm for encryption and the Galios/Counter Mode (GCM) for authentication. GCM is a block cipher mode of operation that provides both confidentiality and integrity for data. It uses a unique initialization vector (IV) for each message and also a unique authentication tag for each message. GCM is considered to be a very secure algorithm that is resistant to tampering and replay attacks.
