A/D? The private key is definitely not on the certificate, so A and C can be ruled out. Between B and D, B mentions cipher suites which aren’t in certs. So D seems like the only logical choice.

D imo, the cert definitely has the public key and the CA info, plus the server’s identity like CN. Private keys or cipher suites wouldn’t be part of it, so D fits best.

It’s D because private keys never leave the server and cipher suites aren’t in the cert.

D private key is never on the cert, so only public key fits here.

Guessing D since certs have public keys, server ID, and CA info only.

Option D looks right because the server cert usually contains the server name, the trusted CA, and its public key. Not sure why private keys would be included though.
