What describes the impact of TOR on data visibility?

The correct answer is A. TOR encrypts the data in layers and uses a system of relays, and an individual relay does not. TOR (The Onion Router) is a network that enables anonymous communication. It encrypts data in layers, like layers of an onion, and routes it through multiple relays (nodes). Each relay peels off a layer of encryption, but no single relay knows the entire path from source to…

Explanation

TOR (The Onion Router) is a network that enables anonymous communication. It encrypts data in layers, like layers of an onion, and routes it through multiple relays (nodes). Each relay peels off a layer of encryption, but no single relay knows the entire path from source to destination. Only the final exit node knows the destination, and only the entry node knows the source, thus ensuring anonymity.
