I practiced a similar question about what constitutes PHI, and I think it definitely includes information on paper, so C doesn't sound right.

Whoever wrote these options must have had a wild night before the exam. D is clearly the correct answer - PHI doesn't include stuff that's 'in transit'. Come on, people, let's use our heads here!

Option E is an interesting one. Isn't de-identified health info supposed to be exempt from PHI rules? Ah well, I'll go with A to play it safe.
