Why each option

To effectively track organizational data within a BYOD environment, devices must be enrolled in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution.

AEmployees must immediately report lost or stolen mobile devices containing organizational data.

Reporting lost or stolen devices is a reactive measure that helps in mitigation, but it does not enable proactive tracking of organizational data on the device.

BEmployees must use auto-lock features and complex passwords on personal devices.

Auto-lock features and complex passwords secure the device itself from unauthorized access, but they do not specifically enable the organization to track or manage organizational data on the device.

CEmployees must sign acknowledgment of the organization's mobile device acceptable use policy.

Signing an acknowledgment of an acceptable use policy sets user expectations and legal obligations, but it does not provide the technical capability to track organizational data on personal devices.

DEmployees must enroll their personal devices in the organization's mobile device managementCorrect

Enrolling personal devices in an organization's Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution provides the capability to apply security policies, configure settings, monitor device compliance, and crucially, track, wipe, or encrypt organizational data on these devices. MDM allows for centralized control and visibility over corporate data stored or accessed on personal devices, enabling data segregation and remote data management features vital for BYOD security.
