CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-001) — Question 19

Privacy is the right of________ to selectively disclose information about _________ and restrict the further use of that information by any party.

Answer options

• A. companies, others
• B. companies, themselves
• C. individuals, others
• D. individuals, themselves

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because privacy fundamentally pertains to individuals having control over their own personal information and deciding how it is shared. Options A and B incorrectly attribute this right to companies, which do not possess the same level of personal privacy. Option C, while mentioning individuals, incorrectly implies they can disclose information about others rather than themselves.
