Explanation
Subject is correct because the customer is the individual whose personal data is being collected and processed - they are the subject of the data, not an active participant in handling it.
Owner (D) is wrong because the data owner is the organization or entity that has business responsibility for the data - in this case, the marketing department or the company itself. Processor (A) refers to a party that processes data on behalf of the owner (like a third-party vendor); the customer does nothing with the data. Custodian (B) is the infrastructure team role - the party responsible for the technical safeguarding of data (storage, encryption, transit security), not the person the data is about.
Memory tip: Think of it grammatically - a "subject" is who something is about. If a sentence describes your data, you are the subject of that sentence.
