Why each option

To protect sensitive data on mobile devices by automatically destroying its secure container if the device exits a defined area, an administrator should implement geofencing combined with data containerization.

AGeofencingCorrect

Geofencing defines a virtual geographic boundary (the warehouse perimeter) and can be configured to automatically trigger specific actions, such as data destruction, when a mobile device moves outside of this defined zone.

BRemote wipe

Remote wipe is typically a manual, administrator-initiated action to erase data from a device, not an automatic, location-triggered destruction of a specific container.

CNear-field communication

Near-field communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology used for data exchange between devices, not for defining geographical boundaries or creating secure data containers.

DPush notification services

Push notification services are used for delivering messages or alerts to mobile devices and do not provide functionality for location-based security policies or data containerization.

EContainerizationCorrect

Containerization creates a secure, isolated environment on a mobile device for corporate data and applications, allowing for selective data destruction (wiping) of only the corporate container without affecting the user's personal data or applications on the device.
