A. B. C. D.C.
The correct answer is C. A locally stored word processing document.
Explanation:
Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to keep their personal information and activities out of public view. In this context, privacy refers to the level of protection that an individual can expect for their personal information.
A picture posted to a social media website (option A) is accessible to anyone who has access to that social media website. While there may be some level of privacy settings, the picture can still be viewed by others, especially if it's shared publicly. Therefore, the expectation of privacy for a picture posted to a social media website is low.
A presentation saved to a corporate file server (option B) is accessible to authorized personnel within the organization. However, if the organization is breached, the presentation may be exposed. In addition, if the presentation is shared with others outside the organization, the expectation of privacy decreases. Therefore, the expectation of privacy for a presentation saved to a corporate file server is moderate.
A locally stored word processing document (option C) is only accessible to the individual who created it or to someone who has physical access to the computer or storage device where the document is stored. Therefore, the expectation of privacy for a locally stored word processing document is high.
A spreadsheet emailed to a business client (option D) is accessible to the recipient and potentially to others if it is forwarded or intercepted during transmission. Therefore, the expectation of privacy for a spreadsheet emailed to a business client is moderate.
In summary, the highest expectation of privacy is for a locally stored word processing document (option C).
