What is the primary benefit of enabling encryption for data in transit on a network?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. It ensures that data is unreadable to attackers during transmissions.

Encryption for data in transit (like when data moves over the internet or a network) protects the information by converting it into a coded form. So, even if an attacker intercepts the data, they cannot read or understand it without the decryption key.
