B. Key escrow is the notion of putting a confidential secret key or private key in the care of a third party until certain conditions are fulfilled.

Here's a way to remember using a metaphor: In real estate, if you wish to put a deposit down to reserve a unit, you can put $$ in an escrow account. It shows your good faith that you're ready to rent and are serious. If the owner accepts, they pull the $$ from the escrow account and the renter cannot back out. Thus, there is confidentiality (no one else knows) and reliability (certain conditions must be fulfilled).
