What is the result of stapling a certificate?

Certificate stapling is a process that enables the server presenting a certificate to efficiently verify its revocation status through the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). This is achieved by including the OCSP response with the certificate handshake, resulting in enhanced security for clients who are assured that the certificate is valid. Additionally, this process is more efficient as clients do not have to perform a separate retrieval process to check the certificate's status. The other options are fictitious and unrelated to certificate stapling.
