Selected Answer: C
The answer is C - Fulldisk encryption, this encrypts the whole storage drive of the device, including OS, files, app data, etc. the reason its not the other options partition encryption - only encrypts the partition, meaning if there are multiple partitions then some of them could be left unencrypted and a threat actor could steal data in them. Asymmetric encryption - is an encryption technique using Public Key, private key methodology. Database encryption - is used to encrypt databases (schema) or data within the databases.
