Makes sense to pick A since sanitization is about erasing data securely. B, C, and D don’t really deal with removing data, so they seem off. So yeah, A.

A imo, because sanitization wipes data so hackers can't recover info from old drives. The other options are more about management issues, not data cleanup.
