Explanation
Cloud storage is the best solution because it provides continuous, automatic, off-site backup that is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Since the rep is traveling for six months and regularly modifying confidential files, cloud storage ensures that changes are synced in real time and recoverable even if the laptop is lost, stolen, or damaged. A USB security lock (A) is a physical theft deterrent, not a backup solution. Encrypting the laptop image on the server (B) is a one-time snapshot and won't capture ongoing changes. An external hard drive (D) requires manual backups and is just as vulnerable to loss or theft as the laptop itself while traveling.
