Explanation

The correct answer is C because the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state privacy law that grants California residents the right to request the deletion of their personal information that a business has collected from them. The CCPA applies to any business that collects personal information from California residents, regardless of where the business is located, as long as the business meets certain thresholds of revenue, data volume, or data sharing. Therefore, the social media platform that Sarah uses is subject to the CCPA and must honor Sarah's deletion request, unless an exception applies. The CCPA also requires businesses to provide notice and choice to consumers about their data collection and use practices, and to respond to consumer requests within 45 days.
