Explanation

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is data that can be used to uniquely identify a specific individual. A full name (Option E) combined with a birthday (Option D) together can uniquely identify a person - this combination is sufficient to distinguish one individual from others and is widely recognized as PII under regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA. Marital status (A), favorite movie (B), and pet's name (C) are not PII because they are non-unique attributes shared by many people and cannot reliably identify a specific individual, even in combination with each other. The key principle is that the selected data points must be able to single out a specific person when used together.
