Which method of data destruction involves turning paper documents into a liquid?

• Pulverizing

• Degaussing

• Burning

• Overwriting

What does degaussing do to a storage device, making it unusable for further data storage?

• Changes the polarity of particles inside a hard drive

• Overwrites data with 1s and 0s

• Pulps paper documents
