   Interesting question:
   The Key word in here is: LEAST
   A -DLP Data Loss Prevention (Software) offers the MOST amount of protection. This is for local access

   B and C also offer very strong security at a local level

   The odd one out is “D- Cloud computing”.
   The question is, where in the cloud one goes about plugging a USB device?
   The answer is nowhere. We are talking about the use of a USB device in a Local desktop which is accessing the cloud.
   In addition to that, USB use is a common problem faced by cloud platform subscribers:
   The problem arises when a user needs to access their local USB devices from a cloud infrastructure, and that becomes challenging. If a customer wants to get information from a local USB or RS232 device while working in the cloud OS, they face a serious problem.
   This is because “A CLOUD PC CANNOT SEE DEVICES CONNECTED TO A USER’S HOST MACHINE”, so accessing the peripherals’ functionality doesn’t seem possible in this case.
   That means, cloud infrastructure customers can neither manage their valuable devices like a 3D mouse, a game controller, etc., nor send any documents to print.
   To extend the functionality of a cloud operating system and make it fully functional for the end user, the technology of remote access to local USB devices should be integrated into the core of a cloud platform.

   This means that in this day and age it is possible to view local USB devices from the cloud by means of a USB pass-through technology.

   So Cloud computing refers to performing data processing and storage elsewhere, over a network connection,
   rather than locally. Because users have access to the data, it can easily be copied to a USB device.

   This is short “offers the LEAST amount of protection against data theft by USB drives.”
