Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Steganography allows someone to hide data (like a spreadsheet or document) within another innocuous- looking file (like an image, video, or audio). This disguises the presence of the data entirely, allowing it to bypass standard data loss prevention (DLP) systems and firewalls, which look for file types and suspicious patterns.
