B Correct answer
Explanation

Insecure cryptographic storage means sensitive data is either stored in plaintext or using weak encryption that can be broken. This directly enables data theft if the database is compromised. The other options describe different vulnerability classes (defacement, script execution, session prediction) that are not implications of crypto storage flaws.
