Answer 1

(C) It is a temporary set of credentials that a client uses to prove to other servers that its identity has been validated.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ticket in kerberos is a small encrypted data that is distributed by server in authentication model of kerberos to start the authentication process. When the client receives the ticket, the client transfers the ticket back to server with additional details verifying the identity of the client. So the ticket is used to validate identity.
