Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Statement I:Encrypting data prevents it from being hacked.
Statement II:Backing up data removes the risk of the data being infected by viruses.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Explanation
Statement 1 is false because encrypting data protects its confidentiality but does not by itself stop it from being hacked or accessed.
Statement 2 is false because backing up data guards against loss, yet a backup can still be infected by viruses.
Encryption scrambles data so that intercepted content is unreadable without the key.
Backups provide a recoverable copy but do not remove malware risk from the copy itself.
Strong security combines encryption, backups, antivirus and access control together.
No single measure guarantees complete protection of data.
