correct
enable password <string> - Sets the enable password, and stores that password in plaintext in the config.
enable secret <string> - Sets the enable password, and stores that password as an md5 hash in the config.
service password-encryption - For any passwords in the config that are stored in plaintext, this command changes them to be stored as hashed values instead.
The first method of encryption that Cisco provides is through the command service password-encryption. This command obscures all clear-text passwords in the configuration using a Vigenere cipher. You enable this feature from global configuration mode.

The correct answer is C.
Enable secret <string> only encrypts the password used to enter privileged exec mode. Other passwords like line vty 0 4 password etc will have their passwords visible in the running configuration.
