Explanation

The foundational goal of data privacy legislation-from GDPR to CCPA and beyond-is to grant individuals rights over their personal data. These rights include the right to access, correct, delete, and control how their data is collected and used. Choice D captures this core purpose. Choice A ('privacy laws also aim to protect dignity and autonomy') is philosophically true but framed as a secondary aim ('also aim'), making it a supporting goal rather than the primary one. Choice B is incorrect because privacy laws do not prohibit collection; they regulate it. Choice C (transparency) is an important principle but is a mechanism to achieve rights, not the foundational goal itself.
