Explanation

NOTE: The provided answer (D – NTFS) appears to be incorrect. EFS (Encrypting File System, option A) is the Windows feature that cryptographically encrypts individual files so that only the user who created them-and designated recovery agents-can decrypt and read them. Even an administrator cannot access EFS-encrypted files without the user's private key. NTFS (D) provides permission-based access control, but administrators can override NTFS permissions. BitLocker (C) encrypts an entire drive volume, not per-user individual files. DEF (B) is not a real Windows technology. The correct answer should be A (EFS).
