Explanation

Mobile device security centers on three core controls that address the most common mobile threats: screen locks, device encryption, and remote wipe capabilities (Option C). Screen locks prevent unauthorized physical access if a device is lost or stolen. Device encryption protects data at rest so that even if the storage is extracted, the data remains unreadable. Remote wipe allows administrators to erase sensitive data from a lost or compromised device. Option A lists controls more suited to desktop environments.

Option C is the standard MDM (Mobile Device Management) baseline.
