Jessica Ganey · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Risks associated with data security include breaches of confidentiality (such as unauthorized access to sensitive information) and failure to offer choice in what information is shared (such as collecting more information than necessary or sharing it with third parties without consent). A and B are incorrect because data security policies generally require formal measures to protect data, and responsibility for collecting, handling, and storing data may be distributed among multiple employees or departments. D is incorrect because data that is no longer needed should be securely disposed of, rather than preserved.
