Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a hardware-based security feature that is used to securely store encryption keys and to verify the integrity of the system. It is the main component used by BitLocker to encrypt and decrypt data on a hard drive in Windows. RSA is a widely used encryption algorithm, but it is not used for encrypting a hard drive with BitLocker. SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol used for secure communication, not for hard drive encryption. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a firmware interface that replaces BIOS, it is not used for hard drive encryption with BitLocker.
