What is the purpose of a self-signed certificate?

Generate a certificate signed by Salesforce to show that communications purporting to come from your organization are really coming from there.
Verify user identities during login flows.
Encrypt data at rest in Salesforce.
Create secure backups of Salesforce data.

The correct answer is: Generate a certificate signed by Salesforce to show that communications purporting to come from your organization are really coming from there.

The purpose of a self-signed certificate is to generate a certificate directly from the organization, without involving any external certificate authority. This helps to establish the identity of the organization and ensure that communications are genuinely coming from them. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because these actions do not directly involve the creation or use of a certificate. Verifying user identities, encrypting data, and creating backups are all important security measures, but they do not pertain to the purpose of a self-signed certificate.
