Explanation
Data encryption is the process of converting plaintext data into ciphertext using an algorithm and a key, making it unreadable to anyone who does not possess the correct decryption key or password. This directly matches the description in the question. Data transmission (B) refers to moving data between systems, with no inherent security transformation. Data protection (C) is a broad umbrella term that includes encryption but is not specific to the key/password mechanism described. Data masking (D) replaces sensitive values with fictional but realistic-looking data (e.g., replacing a real SSN with a fake one) - it does not use keys for decryption.
