This is a tricky one, but I'm going with B. IT general controls are about the overall IT environment, and encryption fits that description.

I'm stuck between B and C. Data encryption could be considered a data input control, since it's protecting the data being entered into the system.

I'm pretty sure it's an application control, since encryption is typically implemented at the application level to protect data.

Data encryption is clearly an IT general control, as it's a security measure that applies to the entire IT infrastructure.
