In a blockchain, every block contains the cryptographic hash of the previous block. The main consequence of this is that

  • Athe whole chain can be compressed into a single block
  • Bany change in an old block becomes evident because the hashes stored in all later blocks no longer match
  • Call the blocks are encrypted with the same secret key
  • Dtransactions are processed faster than in a database
Correct answer: B

Explanation

Altering an old block changes its hash, which breaks the link stored in the next block and in every block after it, so tampering is easily detected.
