Why each option

Article 2 of the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention) defines 'Illegal access' as the intentional access to a computer system without right, establishing the foundational cybercrime offense.

AArticle 2Correct

Article 2 in Chapter 2, Section 1 of the Budapest Convention is specifically titled 'Illegal access' and requires parties to criminalize intentional access to a computer system without right, either by infringing security measures or otherwise, directly matching the question's description.

BArticle 5

Article 5 of the Convention addresses 'System interference' - intentional acts that seriously hinder the functioning of a computer system - not illegal access.

CArticle 16

Article 16 falls under procedural law provisions and covers 'Expedited preservation of stored computer data,' not the definition of illegal access.

DArticle 3

Article 3 defines 'Illegal interception,' which covers the unauthorized interception of non-public transmissions of computer data, not unauthorized access to a system.
