D.
SHA-3
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the best algorithm to replace Base64 for secure data exchange. Base64 is an encoding method that is not secure by itself, as it's easily reversible. AES, on the other hand, is a widely used encryption standard that ensures data is protected and is not readable without the correct encryption key.

Reference: Encryption standards and practices, including the use of AES for securing data, are essential knowledge in cloud security covered in CompTIA Cloud+.
