Suggested Answer: D

Data protection and privacy are complementary, but not the same thing.

A very repeated phrase is: ''It is possible to have security without privacy, but it is not possible to have privacy without security''.

Privacy is a right that must be protected, and Data Protection are the measures that will be used to achieve this protection.

I think the difference is that a regulation is binding for all EU Member States, while a directive allows some flexibility for member states to implement it in their own laws.
