A.Yes, TDE encrypts data for every SQL queryB.Yes, but only for SELECT statementsC.Only if the database runs in the cloudD.No; TDE protects stolen disks, files and backups, but an attacker using the app's credentials gets decrypted data, so least privilege, column-level encryption and auditing are still needed
