Correct answer: C
Microsoft PowerPoint provides built-in encryption features to protect sensitive presentations from unauthorized access or accidental alterations. These options can be found by navigating to File > Info > Protect Presentation > Encrypt with Password (or via the Save As > Tools > General Options menu).
As shown above, PowerPoint allows you to deploy two distinct types of passwords depending on your security needs:
Password to open: A strict barrier. If a user does not have this password, they cannot view a single slide. The file remains entirely encrypted.
Password to modify: A modification barrier. Users without this password can still open the file in Read-Only mode to view the slides, but they are blocked from making any permanent changes or saving edits to the original file.
