C Correct answer

A hard case with internal padding provides structural protection against impact, compression, and crushing forces during shipping. Laptop carry cases offer insufficient protection, while crumpled newspaper or styrofoam pieces can shift and leave voids, allowing the laptop to move inside the container.
