Explanation
Static data masking creates a permanent, separate copy of a dataset where sensitive values have been replaced with masked equivalents. The original data remains untouched in production, and the masked copy is used for purposes such as development, testing, or analytics. This is distinct from Dynamic masking, which intercepts and masks data at query time without creating a copy. 'Replication' simply duplicates data without masking, and 'Duplication' is not a formal masking strategy. Static masking is the correct term for the approach of producing a standalone masked dataset.
