Answer: C
The best way to handle obsolete magnetic tapes is to degauss
them. This action leaves a very low residue of magnetic
induction, essentially erasing the data from the tapes.
Overwriting or erasing the tapes may cause magnetic errors
but would not remove the data completely. Initializing the
tape labels would not remove the data that follows the label.
