Selected Answer: D
Disk encryption is designed to encrypt the entire contents of a disk, making the data on the disk unreadable without the appropriate decryption key. This helps protect the data on the workstation's hard drive-in case the workstation is stolen. It provides a comprehensive layer of security for the entire disk and the data stored on it.

Its D. Data in transit encryption seems more like for the credit card device (separate from the workstation) and the other 2 dont protect a workstation from theft.

"In case of theft" makes me think disk encryption might be best for the workstation.

Agreed, D makes the most sense to secure the terminal in case it gets stolen.
