Selected Answer: B

Correct B) Azure Disk Encryption helps protect and safeguard your data to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. It uses the BitLocker feature of Windows to provide volume encryption for the OS and data disks of Azure virtual machines (VMs), and is integrated with Azure Key Vault to help you control and manage the disk encryption keys and secrets. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/disk-encryption-overview

B. Azure key vault--->The VM's disk encryption uses BitLocker (for Windows) or dm-crypt (for Linux), and the keys for encryption are managed in the Azure Key Vault.
