Why each option

To protect an entire hard disk drive from unauthorized access, especially if the computer is stolen, full disk encryption is the most effective method.

ARights Management Services

Rights Management Services protects individual files or documents by applying usage restrictions, not the entire hard drive.

BFile-level share permissions

File-level share permissions control network access to shared folders and files, not the physical security of data on a stolen drive.

CPassword-protection

Password-protection typically refers to login passwords, which can be bypassed by booting from another device or removing the drive.

DBitLocker encryptionCorrect

BitLocker encryption provides full disk encryption, encrypting the entire volume and ensuring that data is unreadable without the correct decryption key, even if the drive is removed from the stolen computer. This prevents unauthorized access to the drive's contents at rest.
