C. Password protecting the BIOS. A will encrypt the Drive. If I install a new OS on top of the encrypted media guess what? My new OS is up and running. The parts of the rive that weren't overwritten by the new OS remain encrypted, but that doesn't affect the new install. Disabling Removable devices and rives is an Active Directoy funtion, it doesn't prevent you from booting to the removable media (USB Drive or CD/DVD and installing the new OS. You don't even need to login to the existing OS to install a NEW OS. Just boot to the media and bypass all the other options.

To clarify: From a forensic standpoint, the physical media underneath the freshly formatted (quick formatted) is unrecoverable because the blocks are ony 'marked' as unused, but unencrypted 'quick formatted space' is recoverable with forensic tools, encrypted quick formatted space can be read by forensic tools as pure random gobbledygook, but being marked as 'unused' it is formatted and usable to the newly installed OS.

B alone should NOT be correct: Since I have physical access, why can't I enable the removable devices myself in the BIOS an do the new OS installation. (password protecting the bios aswell would solve this)

if you disable removable drives, i can simply load the new OS from a bootable drive by changing boot options during startup
