Option A seems like a pretty innocent use of a student's essay, as long as they gave permission. But you never know with these privacy laws, am I right?

I think that would violate FERPA because it's sharing personal information without consent.

Haha, option D is like the student's hometown police are playing detective. Probably not the best way to share that info, even if they're 'suspected' of something.
