What is the difference between password protection and encryption?

Answer
A
Encryption allows the user to edit but not save changes.
B
Password protection restricts access to users who know the password.
C
Encryption allows the user to hide some text before printing.
D
Password protection makes the file unreadable unless a special key is pressed.

Explanation

Password protection limits who can open or use a file by requiring the correct password. Encryption transforms the file’s data into unreadable text unless it is decrypted with the appropriate key. So choice B correctly describes password protection; choice D more closely describes encryption, though it incorrectly refers to pressing a key.
