What is of the listed options is the best method to ensure that data is not recoverable after it has been deleted from storage media?
Overwrite the data multiple times before disposal
Format the storage device without additional steps
Physically destroy the disk but without proper checks
Perform a simple delete operation on the data
The correct answer is an effective method that prevents any remnants of the data from being retrievable. Physical destruction that renders media unusable is preferred, but not a listed option. Overwriting data multiple times is a well-known technique that helps eliminate any recoverable instances of the original data. In contrast, options that suggest simple deletion may not adequately address the potential for data recovery through forensic methods. Similarly, methodologies that only involve physical destruction without considering the implications of residual data might still leave recoverable traces.
