Selected Answer: B

I'd go with IPsec as MACsec is a Hop to Hop encryption and therefore would need support from ISP.

For deployments requiring encryption and the capability of leveraging an Ethernet transport (public or private), MACsec offers a simplified, line-rate, per port encryption option for secure next-generation deployments.
