How does homomorphic encryption contribute to data security and usability?

Encrypting entire hard drives
Obfuscating user login credentials
Allowing mathematical operations on encrypted data without exposing its contents
Ensuring secure data transmission over networks

The correct answer is: Allowing mathematical operations on encrypted data without exposing its contents

Homomorphic encryption contributes to data security and usability by allowing mathematical operations to be performed on encrypted data without revealing its contents. This enables data to be used and processed securely without compromising the privacy of the sensitive information. Homomorphic encryption does not directly involve encrypting entire hard drives, obfuscating user login credentials, or ensuring secure data transmission over networks, which are functionalities offered by other encryption methods or mechanisms.
