To scramble data so that it is unreadable is a form of ____ ?
A
Compression
B
Encryption
C
Backing up
D
Defragmentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Encryption is the process of taking plain text, like a text message or email, and scrambling it into an unreadable format-called “ciphertext.” This helps protect the confidentiality of digital data either stored on computer systems or transmitted through a network like an internet.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prudent Cloud describes data scrambling, sometimes called data masking or data obfuscation, as “a technique used to mask critical data sets and attributes so the critical data is not visible to the users of the cloned/non-production database copied from production.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Encryption is the process of transforming readable text or data, called plaintext, into unreadable code called ciphertext. After the data is transformed, it is said to be encrypted. The reverse transformation process from ciphertext to plaintext is called decryption.

Detailed explanation-4: -Encryption is the process of scrambling data using a key so that the message becomes unreadable to somebody who doesn’t have the key. This prevents them reading the ‘Secret Code’.

Detailed explanation-5: -Data encryption is a way of translating data from plaintext (unencrypted) to ciphertext (encrypted). Users can access encrypted data with an encryption key and decrypted data with a decryption key. Protecting your data. Types of data encryption: asymmetric vs symmetric.
