Explanation
A Digital Signature proves both integrity (the document hasn't been altered) and authenticity (it genuinely came from the claimed sender) - exactly what Jasmine needs. Mark as Final (A) only signals the document is complete and disables editing as a courtesy, but provides no cryptographic protection. Restrict Permission (C) controls who can read or edit the file but says nothing about whether the content is genuine or tamper-free. Encrypt Document (D) protects confidentiality (only authorized parties can open it), but doesn't verify the source or detect modifications.
Memory tip: Think of a digital signature like a wax seal on an envelope - it tells you who sent it and shows if someone broke in. Encryption is the locked box that hides the contents; it doesn't identify the sender.
