Assertion (A): Destroying a key can be an effective way of rendering data unrecoverable.
Reason (R): Data encrypted with a destroyed key cannot be decrypted by anyone afterwards.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism, and this is the basis of crypto-shredding as an approach to deletion where the storage itself cannot be reliably erased. It also makes accidental key destruction a serious risk.
