Selected Answer: A

For BitLocker to use the system integrity check provided by a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), the computer must have TPM 1.2 or later. If your computer does not have a TPM, enabling BitLocker requires that you save a startup key on a removable device, such as a USB flash drive.

A is correct . How do I enable BitLocker without TPM? Double-click the “Require additional authentication at startup” option in the right pane. Select “Enabled” at the top of the window, and ensure the “Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM (requires a password or a startup key on a USB flash drive)” checkbox is enabled here. Click “OK” to save your changes.{ source google}

can it be B? You can enable, configure, and use BitLocker normally. Head to Control Panel > System and Security > BitLocker Drive Encryption and click “Turn on BitLocker” to enable it for a drive.

No. If you don't have a TPM , no amount of firmware updates will allow you to Bitlocker. Only other way is (A).
