Explanation

BitLocker is Microsoft's native full disk encryption solution built into Windows (Pro and Enterprise editions) and is the correct choice for a Windows laptop. It encrypts the entire drive, protecting data at rest. FileVault (B) is Apple's full disk encryption for macOS. Encrypting File System (EFS) (A) encrypts individual files and folders, not the entire disk, so it does not satisfy 'full disk encryption' policy. Encrypted LVM (D) is a Linux-based disk encryption method. For Windows full disk encryption compliance, BitLocker is the standard answer.
