How does the key length affect the security of symmetric key algorithms?

All key lengths provide the same level of security regardless of their size.

Key length has no impact on the security of symmetric algorithms.

Longer key lengths provide greater security by increasing the difficulty of brute-force attacks.

Shorter key lengths are more secure due to less complexity.
