Wiping the hard drive is the obvious choice here. Wouldn't want the new employee to stumble upon any juicy secrets, right? Option D is the way to go!

I'm not sure, but I think fingerprinting could also be used for data security.

Wiping the hard drive is the only way to be 100% sure. I'd hate to be the one who let sensitive data slip through the cracks. Option D all the way!

Option D, wiping, is definitely the way to go. You can't be too careful with data security these days. Gotta make sure there's nothing left behind!
