Explanation

Edge computing increases security by siloing data - keeping data local at the edge node rather than transmitting it to a central cloud or data center. This reduces the attack surface by limiting data movement across networks and ensuring sensitive data remains within a controlled boundary. Distributing data (B) does the opposite by spreading it across more locations. Siloing or distributing security applications (C, D) describes a security architecture approach, not how edge computing itself inherently increases security.
