Colorado has its own privacy act too, so D is the right answer.

Mega Corp. has to follow the California Privacy Rights Act for sure.

I’m leaning towards B because I know Virginia has its own law, but I can't remember if Colorado's is as significant.

I feel like I should know this, but I can't recall if Virginia and Colorado have similar laws to California.

I think I practiced a question like this before, and it had all three states listed. So, maybe D is the right choice?

I remember the California Privacy Rights Act is definitely important, but I'm not sure if I need to include the other states too.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is D. The question specifically mentions that Mega Corp. has employees in those three states, so it needs to comply with the privacy laws for all of them.

Okay, let me think this through. Since the company has employees in multiple states, it likely needs to comply with the privacy laws in each of those states. I'll go with option D to be safe.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that's correct. I think it might just be the California law since that's where the company is based. I'll need to double-check the requirements.

This seems straightforward - Mega Corp. has employees in California, Virginia, and Colorado, so it needs to comply with the privacy laws in all three states.

Definitely D. Trying to skate by with just one or two of the laws is a recipe for trouble.
