Explanation

The correct answer is C: Preemption. The Federal Regulations on Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records (42 CFR Part 2) is an example of preemption because it is a federal law that imposes stricter privacy protections than HIPAA for substance abuse treatment records. When another law - federal or state - provides greater privacy protections or greater patient rights than HIPAA, that law preempts (overrides) HIPAA. 42 CFR Part 2 specifically prohibits disclosure of substance abuse patient records without patient consent except in very limited circumstances, making it more restrictive than standard HIPAA rules.
