Answer options

• A. The Fair Information Practice Principles.
• B. The Model Data Protection Code.
• C. The Electronic Transactions Act.
• D. The 1995 European Directive.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the 'TrustSg' mark was specifically developed based on the Model Data Protection Code to foster confidence in online transactions. The other options, while related to data protection and e-commerce, do not serve as the foundational basis for establishing the 'TrustSg' mark.
