Answer options

The correct answer is C, Code signing, as it helps ensure the authenticity and integrity of software but does not directly impose limitations on usage. On the other hand, Digital rights management (D) is specifically designed to control the use of digital content, while Hypervisor (A) and Grid computing (B) are technologies related to virtualization and distributed computing, respectively, and do not relate to content restriction.
