Explanation

DRM (Digital Rights Management) and DLP (Data Loss Prevention) are security and compliance tools. DRM in particular restricts how data can be copied, moved, or accessed-which can actively hinder data portability rather than enhance it. The other three options are genuine portability techniques: removing physical limitations to data movement ensures you can actually transfer data, favorable contract terms (e.g., data export rights, no egress penalties) support portability legally, and avoiding proprietary data formats ensures data can be read by other platforms without conversion.
