CRL stands for Certificate Revocation List, which is a list containing the serial numbers of all the certificates that have been revoked by the CA. The CA periodically distributes the CRL to all users so that they can check if any of the certificates they are relying on have been revoked. This helps to maintain the integrity and security of the PKI system.

B) RA stands for Registration Authority, which is responsible for verifying the identity of users and issuing digital certificates. RA does not distribute the CRL.

C) MAC stands for Message Authentication Code, which is used for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of messages. MAC does not relate to the distribution of CRL.

D) RDL is not a standard term used in PKI.
