I feel like A) Encrypted vSphere vMotion could be a good option too, but it’s not as comprehensive.

But C) might not handle transit encryption automatically, right?

I’m leaning towards C) Host Encryption. It secures everything at the host level.

I feel like UEFI Secure Boot is not related to encryption at all, but I can't recall the exact details on how the other options work together.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between VM Encryption and vSphere vMotion, and I think VM Encryption is the one that fits here.

I think Host Encryption might be the right choice since it deals with the entire host, but I'm a bit confused about the specifics.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the encryption needs to work for both at-rest and in-transit workloads, and without any special hardware. I'm leaning towards D) VM Encryption.
