Explanation

PowerProtect Data Manager implements encryption at both the network and storage layers, providing end-to-end data protection throughout its lifecycle - in transit and at rest. Option A is wrong because limiting encryption to the network layer would leave stored data exposed. Option B is wrong because encrypting only at rest leaves data vulnerable during transmission. Option D is incorrect because encryption is a core, built-in capability of PPDM, not an afterthought.

Memory tip: Think "door and vault" - PPDM locks the door (network/in-transit) and the vault (storage/at-rest), never just one.
