Selected Answer: D

Encrypts our data at rest which doesn't touch the VMs, the VM's OSs, but you'd include IPSec for in transit encryption as well. Fairly obvious they want D here though.

Selected Answer: D

Both D and E provide the encryption needed to protect the data, but OS encryption will generally require a pin before it will complete booting = manual intervention.

Or rather the third sentence in the scenario doesn't seem to match the rest of the scenario.
