A Encoding can be easily detected since most DLP tools recognize common encoding schemes. It’s probably not the best choice compared to encryption or compression which hide data better.

Maybe B works too since compression can hide patterns better than simple encoding, making it harder for DLP to spot sensitive data unless it decompresses first. Encryption’s still strong but depends on tool capabilities.
