Explanation

Encryption protects data from unauthorized access by converting it into an unreadable format, making it useless to anyone who intercepts or steals it - which directly prevents data loss in the sense of data exposure or breach. A Gateway (A) is a network entry/exit point that routes traffic but doesn't inherently protect data from loss. IP configuration (B) deals with network addressing and connectivity, not data protection. Scripts (D) are automation tools that can perform many functions but are not a dedicated data-loss-prevention mechanism.

Memory tip: Think of encryption as a "lock on your data" - even if someone steals the box, they can't open it without the key.
