Why each option
Biometrics is the method of authentication that uniquely identifies users through their distinct physical or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints.
PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) uses digital certificates and public/private key pairs for authentication and encryption, not fingerprints.
Mutual authentication is a process where both parties in a communication authenticate each other, rather than a specific method like fingerprint scanning.
Biometrics is an authentication method that relies on the unique biological and behavioral characteristics of individuals for verification. Fingerprint scanning is a prime example of a physical biometric, utilizing the distinct ridge patterns of a person's finger for identity confirmation.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses tickets to authenticate users to services, without directly involving fingerprints.
