Wait, so developers don’t need privacy training at all? That seems risky!

I think the main benefit of using dummy data is that it helps protect sensitive information, but I'm not sure which option that relates to.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Data encryption and personal data protection seem like they would be common regulatory requirements, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to think it through.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify packaging types. I feel like the toothbrush in the anti-bacterial wrap could be the right choice because it's also a form of primary packaging.

D is an interesting choice, but I don't think it's the main benefit. Developers should still be trained on privacy best practices, even with dummy data.
