Alaska, a system administrator, copies important and sensitive encrypted files from an NTFS filesystem to various locations on the network. As the files are encrypted, she is not worried about anyone accessing the files. However, the file copy in one of the locations is no longer secure as it has been decrypted and can be read by anyone who has access to the folder. Which of the locations is most vulnerable to theft among the locations where the files have been copied?
A) FAT32 on a Windows 10 system
B) Windows Server 2019
C) Windows Server 2016

FAT32 does not support encryption, so the encrypted files copied to a FAT32 filesystem can easily be accessed by anyone with access to the folder. The other options, which are NTFS and Windows Server operating systems, should maintain the encryption and security of the files.
