Explanation
The key detail is that the data was stolen 'while in transit.' This means the attack occurred on data moving across the network, not data at rest. Encrypted TCP wrappers (Option D) encrypt data as it travels over the network, directly addressing the in-transit vulnerability. Option A (Application firewalls) filters traffic but does not encrypt it. Option B (Manual updates) addresses patching but not data confidentiality in transit. Option C (Firmware version control) manages firmware versions and could reduce vulnerabilities but does not directly protect data in transit. Encryption is the correct control when the threat is data interception during transmission.
