I feel like the processor has some obligations, but the controller is the one who needs to demonstrate compliance overall.

I remember a practice question where the DPO was mentioned, but I think they mainly advise rather than take full responsibility.

I think the controller is ultimately responsible for compliance, but I'm not entirely sure if the DPO has a role in that too.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The controller is the entity that decides how and why personal data is processed, so they would be responsible for proving compliance. I've got this!

The controller is ultimately responsible for demonstrating GDPR compliance, as they determine the purposes and means of processing personal data. I'm confident I can apply that knowledge to answer this question.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between the data protection officer, supervisory authority, processor, and controller. I'll need to review those concepts before attempting this.

D) Controller seems like the obvious answer here. The GDPR places the ultimate responsibility on the controller, who determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
