Explanation

SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol that allows secure data exchange over an unsecured network using encrypted channels (B). It was created in 1995 specifically to replace insecure remote access tools like TELNET, rlogin, and rsh, which transmitted data including passwords in plaintext (C). While SSH is available on many platforms today, it originated and is most natively used on Linux and Unix-based systems (D). Choice A is incorrect - the core routing protocol of the Internet is BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), which has nothing to do with SSH.
