Explanation
NOTE: The listed answer (D - NTFS) appears to be an error in the answer key. The correct answer is A - EFS (Encrypting File System). EFS is a Windows feature that encrypts individual files or folders using the file owner's credentials, making them cryptographically unreadable to any other user, including administrators who do not hold the private key. NTFS (D) provides permission-based access control, but administrators can override NTFS permissions - data is not encrypted and remains readable. BitLocker (C) encrypts entire volumes, not per-user files. DFS (B) is a namespace and replication service, not an encryption technology.
