For which of the following reasons would a systems administrator leverage a 3DES hash from an installer file that is posted on a vendor's website?
The correct answer is A. To test the integrity of the file. A hash (such as one generated using 3DES) is used to verify that the file has not been altered or corrupted during download. By comparing the hash of the downloaded file with the one provided by the vendor, the administrator can confirm the file's integrity.
