Field Level Security is the feature in Salesforce that gives admins the ability to precisely manage which data fields users can view and interact with based on their profiles. This capability allows for more granular control than other options. By configuring Field Level Security, admins can set fields to be visible or read-only for different user profiles, ensuring that sensitive information is only accessible to those who need it, while other users may have restricted access to that data.

For example, suppose an organization has a field containing sensitive personal information. By applying Field Level Security to that field, the admin can ensure that only certain users, who have been assigned the appropriate profile permissions, can see or edit that information, thereby protecting user privacy and complying with data protection regulations.

The other options, while they also contribute to controlling user access and experience, do not provide the same level of field-specific security as Field Level Security does. Page Layouts deal with the arrangement and visibility of fields on a record page, Record Types manage different business processes and the display of fields based on the type of record, and Profile Settings give broad access control to objects and permissions but lack the granularity at the field level that this option provides.
