   A government agency is deploying a new Dell PowerStore array to store classified data. The security policy requires data-at-rest encryption with customer-managed keys. The agency also needs to replicate data to a second site for disaster recovery. The storage architect must ensure the encryption keys are not stored on the array itself and that the DR site can decrypt the data. Which approach best meets these requirements?

   • AUse a different encryption key on each array and replicate the data with key escrow on the primary.
   • BUse an external key management server (KMS) and configure both arrays to use the same KMS.
   • CEnable local key management on the primary array and export the keys to the DR array.
   • DEncrypt only the primary array and replicate unencrypted data to the DR site.
