I believe hashing is the best option as it still provides customer identification without revealing the actual number. It's a secure way to store sensitive information.

Hashing is like the digital version of a spy disguise - scrambled beyond recognition, but still knows your true identity. Option D is the James Bond of data protection.

Hashing is like the digital equivalent of a secret handshake. It keeps things discreet, but you still know who's who. Option D is the winner, no doubt.
