Explanation

A key privacy risk is personal data stored on lost or stolen devices. A comprehensive asset management program maintains accurate records of all devices, enabling an organization to quickly identify that an asset is missing and immediately deactivate accounts, revoke access, and remotely wipe the device to prevent unauthorized access to personal data. Options A and B are financial/operational benefits. Option C (software patching) is a security benefit but is secondary to the direct privacy protection provided by remote wiping lost assets.
