Answer options

• C. Notice to subscribers of any investigation involving unauthorized reception of cable services
• D. Obtaining subscriber consent for disseminating any personal information necessary to render cable services

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is valid because the act requires that subscribers be notified of any investigations concerning unauthorized reception of cable services.
