I thought the focus was more on how they interact with data subjects, so option B seems plausible, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

I practiced a similar question about the responsibilities of data protection officers, and I think they have to be proactive in their roles, but I can't recall if that means they need to respond to employees immediately.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The GDPR is all about accountability and transparency, so the main challenge is ensuring the data protection officer has the appropriate level of authority and access within the organization's governance framework. I'll emphasize that in my answer.

This is a good question. The GDPR has a lot of specific requirements, so I'll need to make sure I address them all in the context of the privacy governance model. I'll review the GDPR details to ensure I cover the right points.
