Why each option

The credit card company violated privacy law by sharing Mark's financial and personal details with another company without authorization. This action directly breaches the individual's right to control their personal information.

ATrademark law

Trademark law protects brand names, logos, and other commercial identifiers, which is not relevant to sharing personal data.

BSecurity law

Security law focuses on safeguarding assets and systems from unauthorized access or damage, not specifically the unauthorized sharing of personal data in this context.

CPrivacy lawCorrect

Privacy law protects an individual's right to control their personal information and how it is collected, used, and shared. When a credit card company shares a customer's financial and personal details with another entity without their consent, it violates these principles of data privacy.

DCopyright law

Copyright law protects original works of authorship, such as literary, artistic, or musical works, which is unrelated to the unauthorized disclosure of personal financial information.
