Explanation

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are designed to detect and prevent sensitive data from leaving the organization's control, whether intentionally or accidentally. USB mass storage devices (flash drives, external hard drives) are one of the most common and direct vectors for data exfiltration - an insider can simply plug in a drive and copy gigabytes of sensitive files. DLP solutions frequently enforce policies on USB storage, such as blocking unapproved devices or monitoring/logging file transfers. Application servers (A) host applications and are more relevant to access control than DLP. A Reverse Proxy (C) handles inbound web traffic and is a network security component, not a DLP target. A Print Server (D), while sometimes included in DLP policies (print activity monitoring), is a far less common and critical DLP concern than portable removable storage.
