Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Encrypting the data in the report will ensure that even if someone else gains access to it, they will not be able to read the content without the appropriate decryption key. This is a more secure option than simply storing the report on a password-protected flash drive or transferring it to the cloud. Sending the email without attaching the report may be an option, but it would require extra steps for the president to access the information, and may not be the most efficient method for sharing important financial data.
