✅ C. Shredding
🔐 Explanation:
When decommissioning hard drives with sensitive data, the most secure method to prevent data leakage is physically destroying the drives—which is what shredding does.
🧨 Breakdown of options:
A. Purging:
A general term for making data inaccessible, often includes degaussing or overwriting multiple times, but doesn’t guarantee physical destruction.
B. Clearing:
Refers to logically removing data, usually via standard delete or overwrite methods, which may still be recoverable with advanced tools.
✅ C. Shredding:
Involves physically destroying the drive by grinding or cutting it into tiny pieces. It is highly effective and irreversible, making it ideal for preventing data leakage.
D. Degaussing:
Involves demagnetizing the drive to erase data. Effective on magnetic media (like HDDs), but not useful for SSDs, and doesn’t destroy the physical device.
