Why each option
Tamper resistance is generally used in packages to deter and, if breached, often visually indicate product tampering.
Tamper resistance refers to design features that make it difficult for unauthorized parties to alter or access a product or package. When such resistance is overcome, it frequently leaves noticeable physical damage or triggers internal mechanisms (e.g., in electronics), which allows for the determination that tampering has occurred due to the evidence of forced entry or alteration.
Tamper evident features are specifically designed to show visible evidence of tampering, such as broken seals, but 'tamper resistance' also plays a role in determining tampering by making successful attempts leave clear signs.
Tamper data is not a standard term used to describe a mechanism for determining package or product tampering.
Tamper proof implies complete invulnerability to tampering, which is generally an unachievable state for physical products, making it an impractical and often misleading term.
