Correct answer & explanation
✓
The 'Show recovery key' setting is not configured, so the user is not prompted to escrow.
If the 'Show recovery key' setting is not configured (set to 'Not configured'), the user is not prompted to escrow the recovery key during encryption. FileVault encryption is enabled on the device (option A is incorrect). The recovery key type is personal, not institutional (option B is incorrect). Personal recovery key rotation does not cause a conflict (option D is incorrect).
