Explanation

The key constraint is minimal latency, which favors symmetric encryption over asymmetric. 3DES (Triple DES) is a symmetric cipher that applies DES encryption three times, making it far faster than asymmetric algorithms like RSA or ECC. SHA is a hashing algorithm, not an encryption algorithm, so it cannot encrypt transmissions. Among the listed options, 3DES is the only symmetric encryption algorithm.
