A hash is one way: you store it so a later input can be checked without keeping the secret. A symmetric cipher uses one shared key to hide a message and to open it. A public key can be published so anyone can verify what the matching private key signed.
Three jobs are on the board. Match each job to hash, symmetric, or public key.
