What is the primary purpose of Virtual Machine Encryption in a vSphere environment?

To reduce the storage capacity required by virtual machines

To enable virtual machines to run on hosts with incompatible CPUs

To improve the performance of virtual machines by reducing I/O latency

To protect virtual machine data from unauthorized access when the storage is compromised

A security team is implementing VM Encryption for a set of VMs that contain sensitive data. The team wants to ensure that the encryption keys are rotated regularly. What is the recommended way to achieve this?

Manually re-encrypt the VMs with a new policy.

Use vSphere Replication to copy the VMs to a new datastore.

Use the KMS to automatically rotate the keys.

Disable and re-enable VM Encryption on the VMs.
