Explanation
Data in use refers to data actively being read, written, or processed by an application or system - a database server querying or modifying records is the textbook example of this state. At rest (B) describes data stored on disk or in a database that is not currently being accessed, such as files sitting on a hard drive. In transit (C) refers to data moving across a network between systems, like packets traveling over HTTPS. Being hashed (D) is a cryptographic operation, not a recognized data state classification - hashing can happen to data in any state.
Memory tip: Think of the three core states as a lifecycle - data rests in storage, travels in transit, and is in use when a process has it loaded and active. If something is actively running queries on it, it's "in use."
