To decode the message, we need to find the inverse of the encoding matrix A. Using elementary row operations, we can find that the inverse of A is:

x = 11ebb17b_29fe_ccef_af42_cce242f41d76_TB8591_11

Now, we multiply the encoding matrix by the decoding matrix x to get the original message:

A * x = 11ebb17b_29fe_f398_afdc_a17c663e9800_TB8591_11

Since we know that the numerical assignment used was a=11ebb17b_29fe_f396_afdc_ddbde55a01a3_TB8591_11, we can use the numerical values corresponding to each character to decode the message. The deciphered message is:

"HELLO WORLD!" To decode the message, we need to find the inverse matrix of A, which is x. We are given the encoding matrix A, and we are also given the decoding matrix x. So we just need to check if x is the inverse of A or not.

We can use matrix multiplication to check if x is the inverse of A:

A * x = x * A = I

where I is the identity matrix.

Using the given matrices A and x, we get:

A = 
[11  eb  b1  7b]
[29  fe  cc  84]
[af  dc  8f  c8]
[0c  42  9f  f3]

x = 
[11  eb  b1  7b]
[29  fe  cc  85]
[af  dc  6d  6a]
[e8  d7  35  41]

A * x = 
[01  00  00  00]
[00  01  00  00]
[00  00  01  00]
[00  00  00  01]

x * A = 
[01  00  00  00]
[00  01  00  00]
[00  00  01  00]
[00  00  00  01]

Since both A * x and x * A give the identity matrix, x is indeed the inverse of A.

Now we can use x to decode the message:

11ebb17b_29fe_cc83_afdc_556b81cdd456_TB8591_00

First, we need to replace the symbols with their corresponding numerical assignments:

11 14 22 64 31 32 35 63 44 44 60 18 20 53 59  0  0

Then, we can use the matrix x to decode the message:

x * [11, 14, 22, 64, 31, 32, 35, 63, 44, 44, 60, 18, 20, 53, 59, 0, 0]^T = [28, 1, 16, 22, 12, 1, 0, 29, 30, 30, 40, 26, 17, 6, 8, 30, 30]^T

Finally, we need to replace the numerical assignments with their corresponding symbols:

28 01 16 22 12 01 30 29 30 30 40 26 17 06 08 30 30

The decoded message is: bapvbpaesyts.mxj
  (where 
 represents a newline character)

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 11ebb17b_29fe_f398_afdc_a17c663e9800_TB8591_11.
