CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 176

Which of the following would be violated if an employee accidentally deleted a customer's data?

Answer options

• A. Integrity
• B. Confidentiality
• C. Vulnerability
• D. Availability

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Availability, because deleting a customer's data means that the data is no longer accessible, thus violating its availability. Integrity refers to the accuracy of the data, and confidentiality pertains to unauthorized access, neither of which are directly affected by accidental deletion. Vulnerability is a state of being exposed to harm, which is not directly relevant in this scenario.
