Option D is clearly the best choice here. It's just a security incident, not a full-blown data breach. The processor is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Haha, I bet the processor is just trying to cover their own behind. 'No special category data? No problem!' What a loophole!

I disagree. Option C is the way to go. The personal data were processed, even if it was unlawfully. That's a data breach according to the processor's statement.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Option B makes sense to me. Since the data were only destroyed and not processed, it may not qualify as a data breach.
