Explanation

Full device encryption (A) ensures that all data stored on the device is scrambled and unreadable without the correct decryption key or PIN. Even if the physical device is accessed by bypassing the lock screen or removing the storage, the data remains protected. Remote wipe (C) allows IT administrators to send a command over the network to erase all data on a lost or stolen device, preventing access even if encryption is somehow bypassed. A pattern lock (B) and device lockout policies (D) can be bypassed with physical access tools. Complex administrator passwords (E) protect the MDM/admin console, not the device data itself. Disabling unknown app installations (F) addresses a different threat (malware) rather than data exposure from physical theft.
