• B
  5% (1)
• C
  14% (3)
• D
  77% (17)

Explanation

Requiring consent before sharing location data best illustrates Privacy by Design because it embeds a privacy-protective mechanism-informed, affirmative consent-directly into the application's core functionality before any data sharing occurs. Privacy by Design means privacy is built into the system architecture proactively, not added as an afterthought. Consent prior to sensitive data sharing is a foundational privacy-by-design principle. Sharing data upon request (B) is reactive, not proactive. Storing data for only 24 hours (C) addresses retention but is a single tactical control, not a design philosophy. Choice A appears to be incomplete or truncated and does not present a coherent answer.
