The best option would be C. Format-preserving encryption. Format-preserving encryption (FPE) allows you to encrypt sensitive data in a way that maintains the format of the input data. This is particularly useful when you need to use encrypted data in systems that require data in a specific format. Importantly, FPE is reversible, meaning you can decrypt the data back to its original form when necessary. This would allow the organization to track changes over time and identify outliers, without exposing sensitive compensation data.

Selected Answer: C

format-preserving encryption is the best technique because: - It preserves the original data format - It is reversible - It allows operations like sorting and searching - It protects the sensitive data through encryption except when needed to identify outliers
