Correct answer: CSR.
Why this is the answer
To replace an expired SSL certificate, the administrator needs to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). The CSR contains information about the server and the organization, including the public key, which is then sent to a Certificate Authority (CA) to issue the new certificate. OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) is used to check the revocation status of a certificate, not to create one. A private key is generated alongside the CSR, but the CSR itself is the component sent to the CA. CRL (Certificate Revocation List) is another method for checking certificate revocation status.
