I’m a bit confused about the years. I thought the Privacy Act was earlier, but I could be mixing it up with another law.

I remember studying the Privacy Act, and I feel like it was definitely in the 1970s. Maybe it’s option C?

I think the Privacy Act was established in the 1970s, but I'm not sure if it was '74 or '68.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't encryption help prevent IP spoofing by making it harder for attackers to forge packets? I'm not sure about this one.

This seems like a straightforward question about security measures. I think the key is to identify which option is a preventive measure, rather than a reactive or risk acceptance approach.

I'm leaning towards choosing CNN for this question, based on what I practiced, since they are specifically designed for handling images.
