Q: 3
Why is biometric information considered sensitive personal information in almost all circumstances?

Option C is the best fit. Biometric data stands out because it's unique and hard to change, so if compromised, you can't just reset it like a password. Option D sounds plausible but is actually less relevant here.
C . Biometrics are super sensitive because they're unique and permanent, so if your fingerprint or iris data gets leaked, you can't just reset it like a password. Makes sense regulators flag that as high risk. Anyone see an argument for B here?
I remember a similar question in the official practice exams, and B stood out for me since linking biometrics with other personal info can make profiles more vulnerable. If you check the official guide or IAPP sample questions, they highlight that security angle sometimes. Not totally sure though-open to corrections.
B , since biometrics can be used to connect lots of personal info according to some reports.
I get why B is tempting since biometrics can link to other data, but the real reason they're considered sensitive is their uniqueness and being tough (if not impossible) to replace. That's what privacy laws focus on. Picking C here, but open to debate if anyone sees it differently.
I don’t think B is right here. C fits better since the key issue is biometrics being unique and hard to change if compromised. B sounds tempting but isn’t what privacy regs emphasize.
C tbh, that uniqueness and inability to change makes it risky if compromised. D is a common distractor here.
Its C, encountered exactly similar question in my exam. Uniqueness and difficulty to change make biometric info so sensitive.
C imo
