Explanation
The key phrase is 'misplaced assets' - lost or stolen physical devices (laptops, USB drives, external drives). Full disk encryption ensures that even if a device is physically lost, the data on it cannot be read without the decryption key. Option B is broader than A because it covers ALL storage devices the firm owns (not just laptops), including external drives and other portable media. Option A only covers laptops and implies an immediate, rushed rollout. Option C (continuous monitoring) does not protect data on a lost device, and Option D (encryption during processing, similar to homomorphic encryption) does not address data at rest on misplaced hardware.
