   A company is considering using drive encryption on E-Series systems to meet a regulatory requirement for data protection. The compliance officer asks the administrator to explain how drive encryption helps with secure data disposal. Which explanation is accurate?

   • ADrive encryption allows data to be securely erased by deleting the encryption key, making the data unreadable.
   • BDrive encryption prevents data from being written to the drive, so disposal is not needed.
   • CDrive encryption makes data disposal unnecessary because the data is already secure.
   • DDrive encryption requires physical destruction of the drives to dispose of data securely.
