I think the answer is Insecure authentication (D). The app is asking for unnecessary permissions, which could be a way to gain unauthorized access to the user's data.

I believe it could also be Insecure data storage (A) because the app is asking for unnecessary permissions which could compromise Wesley's data.

This is clearly a case of Improper platform usage (B). Downloading an unauthorized app and syncing it with a smartwatch is a security risk that can lead to data breaches and other issues.
