D
IP addressing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asymmetric encryption is highly secure, but costs in network performance.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is arguably the easiest and most holistic solution to encrypt your internet traffic. It’s the best and most popular privacy tool across the globe. At its core, a VPN hides your real IP (Internet Protocol) address and masks your web traffic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Network encryption is a security best practice as it protects the privacy and confidentiality of network traffic as it travels from source to destination. While this can be beneficial, security professionals understand that network encryption can also be used for malicious purposes.

Detailed explanation-4: -On an IP-based network, network encryption is implemented through Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)-based encryption techniques and standards. Each message sent is in an encrypted form and is decrypted and converted back into plain text/original form at the recipient’s end using encryption/decryption keys.

Detailed explanation-5: -Firewall. Firewalls control incoming and outgoing traffic on networks, with predetermined security rules. Network Segmentation. Remote Access VPN. Email Security. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) Sandboxing. Hyperscale Network Security.
