The correct answer is D. Navigate to Identity, select Users panel on the console and select Add Public Key.

SSH keys are used for secure authentication to a remote server or application. When making API calls to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service, users are required to provide authentication credentials. One of the ways to authenticate is by using SSH keys.

To add a public SSH key on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
  2. Navigate to the Identity section from the main menu.
  3. Select the Users panel.
  4. Select the user for whom you want to add the public SSH key.
  5. Click on the "Add Public Key" button under the "API Keys" section.
  6. Enter the public SSH key in the provided text box.
  7. Click on the "Add" button to save the public SSH key.

Once the public SSH key is added, the user can use it to authenticate API calls to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. It is important to note that SSH keys can only be added by a user with sufficient privileges, such as the tenancy administrator or a user with the required IAM policies.
