Explanation:
Authenticity is a close relative of authentication. Authenticity is the process of ensuring that a message received is the same message that was sent and has not been tampered with or altered.

B: Authorization is the rights and permissions granted to an individual (or process), which enable access to a computer resource. Once a user's identity and authentication are established, authorization levels determine the extent of system rights that an operator can hold. This is not what is described in the question.
C: Availability ensures the reliable and timely access to data or computing resources by the appropriate personnel. In other words, availability guarantees that the systems are up and running when they are needed. In addition, this concept guarantees that the security services needed by the security practitioner are in working order. This is not what is described in the question.

Typically, nonrepudiation refers to the ability to ensure that a party to a contract or a communication cannot deny the authenticity of their signature on a document or the sending of a message that they originated. This is not what is described in the question.
