Selected Answer: D
When encrypting a database, the primary objective is to protect the data from unauthorized viewing. Encryption uses algorithms to transform data into an unreadable format, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access or decipher the information. By encrypting a database, even if someone gains unauthorized access to the data, they will not be able to understand or interpret the encrypted content without the decryption key. This helps to safeguard sensitive and confidential information and maintain data privacy and security.
