Answer: C
The best protection for confidential data stored on a laptop
is data encryption. Data, if not encrypted, would be
accessible to anyone who has access to the disks. Logon ID
and password are not the best protection because a
stand-alone laptop, depending on the operating system, may
not need an ID and password to begin a session, and it is
relatively easy to bypass security controls on laptops to
gain access to the operating system. Physical locks prevent
physical theft only.
