In my (unedited) version of that file:
[...]
61 # Requires mod_headers to be enabled.
62 #
63 #Header set X-Content-Type-Options: "nosniff"
If line 63 is required un-commented, then
$ sudo a2enmod headers
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
should do the trick.
$ sudo apache2ctl -M
should then inlclude
"headers_module (shared)"
which
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_headers.html
confirms is the identifier for mod_headers.
$ sudo a2dismod headers
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
to disable, should that be desired.
Hope that helps.
