Selected Answer: B
Data masking refers to the process of obscuring specific data fields within a database, making it unidentifiable while still preserving its original format, structure, and meaning for testing or development purposes. The developer's script to make names and other PII data unidentifiable before loading into the testing system is an example of data masking as the original data is being transformed to protect sensitive information while still retaining its usefulness for testing purposes.
