This is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with the details of these privacy acts. I'll need to think it through step-by-step and try to eliminate the options that don't seem quite right.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about this one. I know property values can be inherited, but I'm not sure if they can always be changed or if we have to manually enter them. I'll have to think this through carefully.
