B. The enable secret password is hashed using SHA

E. The enable secret password is for accessing exec privilege level 5.

Answer: D
Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/security/configuration/guide/scfpass.html
To configure the router to require an enable password, use either of the following commands in global configuration mode:
Router(config)# enable password [level level] {password| encryption-type encryptedpassword}
Establishes a password for a privilege command mode.
Router(config)# enable secret [level level] {password | encryption-type encryptedpassword}
Specifies a secret password, saved using a non-reversible encryption method. (If enable password and enable secret are both set, users must enter the enable secret password.)
Use either of these commands with the level option to define a password for a specific privilege level.
After you specify the level and set a password, give the password only to users who need to have access at this level. Use the privilege level configuration command to specify commands accessible at various levels.
