A wildcard certificate can be used to secure multiple subdomains under a single domain name. This makes it a cost-effective solution for organizations with a large number of subdomains. By purchasing a single wildcard certificate, the organization can secure all subdomains with a single certificate, reducing the need for multiple individual certificates.

Not sure about wildcard. It can service one domain, and question says "domainS". If you by multiple wildcard certificates, it is not cost effective. I will go with C, self-signed, it doesn't say that service using certificate is public.

You're right! It is stupid wording. One must hope the actual exam doesn't do this. For multiple domains, a SAN cert is required. Otherwise your choice of self signing which has its own drawbacks.

Wildcards are used to search for files or directories that match a certain pattern. * (Asterisk): Represents zero or more characters. Example: *.txt matches all files with a .txt extension. ? (Question Mark): Represents exactly one character. Example: file?.doc matches file1.doc, fileA.doc, etc.

A wildcard is a character or symbol used in computing to represent one or more characters in a string, allowing for flexible searching, matching, and filtering. Wildcards are commonly used in various contexts such as file searching, pattern matching, and access control. Wildcards are used to search for files or directories that match a certain pattern.
