Explanation

The data owner (typically a business manager or executive) has three core responsibilities: (A) Determining the appropriate classification level for the data based on its sensitivity and value; (B) Delegating day-to-day data protection duties - such as implementing controls - to a data custodian (usually IT); and (C) Periodically reviewing and updating classification assignments as business needs and data sensitivity change over time. Option D - running backups and testing their validity - is the responsibility of the data custodian (IT/operations), not the owner. The owner defines policy and classification; the custodian implements and maintains the technical safeguards.
