Why each option
To mitigate network performance issues caused by frequent OCSP transmissions in a large PKI, a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) can be recommended as an alternative.
A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is used to apply for a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority, not to check its revocation status.
A Certificate Revocation List (CRL) is a timestamped list issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) that contains serial numbers of certificates that have been revoked. While CRLs can be large, they are downloaded periodically by clients, reducing the high frequency of individual, real-time OCSP requests and thus minimizing the 'repeated transmission' impact on network performance.
A Certificate Authority (CA) is an entity that issues, revokes, and manages digital certificates, but it is not a mechanism for checking certificate revocation status itself.
An Object Identifier (OID) is a globally unique numerical identifier used within certificates and other PKI components, not a method for verifying certificate revocation.
