In a multiple choice test the author of the test knows all the correct answers.
What is this set of correct answers called?

If it's just a list like "1:b, 2:c, 3:George Washington, 4:192" then it's normally called a "key". Fasitnating, no?

I think this is not a duplicate because the wording used to describe the word in that answer is completely different (I would not put those terms into google for example), and also it answers 4 questions not just one. That is my opinion anyway.

This is just called an "(answer) key".
Key (Noun): A guide to the correct answers of a worksheet or
test.
Some students cheated by using the answer key.
