Explanation

S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) provides end-to-end encryption and digital signatures for email messages, protecting confidentiality of the email body and attachments during transit and at rest. It is the standard for securing email content. FTPS (B) is a file transfer protocol - not email. DNSSEC (C) authenticates DNS records but provides no email content confidentiality. AS2 (D) is a business-to-business data exchange protocol, not an email security standard. Only S/MIME directly addresses in-transit email confidentiality.
