Selected Answer: A
Correct Data masking is a technique used to protect sensitive information, such as personally identifiable information (PII), by replacing original data with fictitious but realistic data. This ensures that the sensitive information is not exposed in the test environment while still maintaining the overall structure and format of the data. Data masking helps maintain data confidentiality by preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information during testing or development processes.

Encoding is not a security measure; it’s used for transforming data into a different format for transmission or storage, but it doesn't protect confidentiality.

Agree on A. B and D would not make good use for the test environment. C is just not secure enough.
