Which of the following privacy settings will John use to accomplish the task?

Why each option

Internet Explorer's Low privacy setting specifically targets third-party cookies that lack a compact privacy policy or use personally identifiable information without implicit user consent, matching the described policy exactly.

AHigh

The High setting applies restrictions to both first-party and third-party cookies and blocks all cookies from sites without a compact privacy policy, which is more restrictive than what the described policy requires.

BLowCorrect

The Low privacy setting in Internet Explorer blocks third-party cookies that do not include a compact privacy policy and restricts third-party cookies that use personally identifiable information without the user's implicit consent. This behavior precisely matches the described requirement because it selectively limits third-party cookies rather than applying a blanket restriction to all cookies.

CBlock All Cookies

Block All Cookies prevents every cookie from being stored regardless of its origin or privacy policy, which is far more restrictive than the targeted third-party cookie policy described.

DThe policy cannot be set.

The policy can be configured using Internet Explorer's built-in Privacy tab settings, so claiming it cannot be set is factually incorrect.
