A lot of the questions have incorrect answers. I for one think seeing another person's answer helps to affirm instead of everyone quietly accepting a possible incorrect answer. I mean no guarantee, but can help.

A is correct. You use Aspnet_regiis.exe to encrypt each web.config on each server in the web farm.
