I'm going with D. Hashing is the perfect solution to protect customer data while still giving the company what they need. It's like a superhero cape for your personal information!

Option B is kind of funny, like 'Hey, your ID is only good for a limited time!' Hashing is the way to go, keeps things nice and private without any expiration dates.

I think hashing is preferable because it scrambles information.
