End-to-End Encryption in the given context covers which scenario?

Explanation:
End-to-end encryption means the data is encrypted from the sender’s device and remains encrypted until it reaches the recipient’s device, so no intermediary can read it. In practice, this protects content both while it’s moving across networks (in transit) and while it’s stored on servers (at rest). That combination—encryption during motion and storage—fits the scenario described. The other ideas would allow exposure at some point (like being readable in transit only, or by intermediaries, or while stored unencrypted), which end-to-end encryption does not permit.
