  88% (30)
• B
  12% (4)

Explanation

Integrity in information security ensures that data is accurate, complete, consistent, and protected from unauthorized modification. A is correct: even authorized personnel must follow proper procedures; unauthorized modifications by authorized users still violate integrity. C is correct: unauthorized personnel or processes must never be able to modify data. D is correct: integrity also covers internal consistency of data across subsystems and its correspondence with real-world facts (a key property in database and distributed system contexts). B is incorrect because tracking 'actions and behaviors of a single individual within a system' describes Accountability (or non-repudiation), not integrity. Integrity is about the state of the data, not about individual user behavior tracking.
