A. Import the repository’s private key.

Answer:

B. Import the repository’s public key.

Step-by-step explanation:

GPG stands for the "Gnu Privacy Guard" and it is an encryption technique.

The server cannot open the downloaded package because it is encrypted with GPG. To open the file, one needs to import the repository’s public key
