A Correct answer
Explanation

Steganography is the practice of concealing messages within other messages, images, or objects so that the very existence of the hidden message is not apparent to casual inspection. Unlike cryptography which hides the content of a message, steganography hides the existence of the message itself. The word derives from Greek meaning 'covered writing'. Cryptography is about encrypting messages, not hiding their existence.
