Explanation
The PRIMARY privacy concern is that a data lake supporting ALL operational users violates the principle of least privilege. When all users across the organization have access to a repository containing personal and transaction data, the risk of unauthorized access, accidental exposure, and misuse is greatly amplified. Options A, C, and D describe architectural characteristics of a data lake (retaining all data, ingesting from all sources, supporting all data structures), but these are design features-not inherent privacy violations. Access by all users is the key concern because personal data should only be accessible to those with a legitimate business need.
