Why each option
The three fundamental principles of information security are Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, collectively known as the CIA Triad.
Privacy is a related but distinct concept focused on the appropriate collection, use, and disclosure of personal information, and is not one of the three core principles of the CIA Triad.
Integrity ensures that information remains accurate, complete, and protected from unauthorized modification or destruction throughout its lifecycle.
Availability ensures that authorized users have timely and reliable access to information and information systems when needed.
Confidentiality ensures that information is protected from unauthorized access, disclosure, or interception by preventing its exposure to individuals, entities, or processes not authorized to possess it.
