Baselining seems off for this question; I think it's more about establishing a standard. Wiping definitely seems like the best choice here.

I feel like fingerprinting and digital watermarking are more about tracking data rather than ensuring it's deleted. Wiping sounds right, but I could be mistaken.

I'm a little confused by the options here. Fingerprinting and digital watermarking don't really seem relevant for this scenario. I'm leaning towards either baselining or wiping, but I'm not 100% sure.
