What is the effect of TOR on data visibility?
The correct answer is C. TOR encrypts the data on each node, except the data sent to the destination from the last node. The Tor (The Onion Router) network uses multiple layers of encryption to anonymize data as it travels through its network of nodes (relays). Each node decrypts only enough information to know the next hop, maintaining anonymity. However, the data sent from the last node (exit…

Explanation
The Tor (The Onion Router) network uses multiple layers of encryption to anonymize data as it travels through its network of nodes (relays). Each node decrypts only enough information to know the next hop, maintaining anonymity. However, the data sent from the last node (exit node) to the destination is not encrypted by Tor. This is a limitation of the Tor protocol and can result in reduced data confidentiality at the final stage.
