you cannot reuse a hard drive once it has been degaussed. This is because the degaussing process not only removes all the data, but it also removes the start up files. As such, a degaussed hard drive will not boot up.
Options A and C are physical methods of destroying storage media, and they can no longer be used. Degaussing (Option D) renders the disk no longer usable too. So the obvious choice is B.

Erasing and overwriting. Solid-state drives (SSDs) require a
special process for sanitization. Because they use flash memory
instead of magnetic storage platters, traditional drive wiping tools
are not effective. Some organizations require personnel to destroy
SSDs as the only acceptable method of sanitization physically.
Overwriting is a data sanitization method that involves writing new data over existing data on a storage device. This process effectively eliminates the old data and makes it unrecoverable using standard data recovery techniques. After overwriting, the storage device can be reused without any concern about the old data being accessible.
Degaussing. A degausser is a very powerful electronic magnet. Passing a disk through a degaussing field renders the data on tape and magnetic disk drives unreadable.
The answer is B. Overwriting.
The reason degaussing wont work, is because when this process is used, it erases EVERYTHING on the disk, including the disk startup files, the servo positioning and possibly others that I'm not aware of. The servo positioning information is put in from the manufacturer itself, in the factory. There is no way to restore that data, which renders the disk COMPLETELY unusable.
Nope, the correct answer has to be B. Once a drive has undergone degaussing, all the startup and track information written at the factory gets erased, making the drive completely unusable.
If it was actually degaussed by running it through an electromagnet then it's toast. The servo platter will have been erased, leaving no head positioning information. The servo tracks can only be written at the factory.
Simply put, degaussers rearrange the magnetic field on a hard drive to destroy or randomize the data. This process either destroys the data completely or makes it unrecognizable.
Disregard this, its overwriting. Degaussers don't allow disk to be reused
