Explanation
When file structures are unknown, you cannot selectively choose which files or folders to encrypt - you would inevitably miss sensitive data. Whole disk encryption (such as BitLocker or FileVault) encrypts every sector of the drive automatically, including the OS, swap files, temp files, and all user data, regardless of where files are stored. Folder encryption (A) and file encryption (B) require knowing which items to target. Steganography (D) hides data inside other files and is not an encryption solution for securing laptop storage.
