Explanation
Data minimization is a core privacy principle found in frameworks like GDPR that promotes collecting and using only the personal data that is strictly necessary for a specified purpose. The rationale is that data you never collect cannot be breached, misused, or improperly shared. Option A (security measures) relates to data security, not minimization. Option B (data accuracy) corresponds to the data accuracy/integrity principle. Option D (explicit consent) relates to the lawful basis/consent principle. Each of these is a separate, distinct privacy principle.
