If sensitive information is sent to the right person but through an unsafe channel, what risk remains?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The information may reach a wrong person in between
Choosing the correct recipient does not by itself protect sensitive information during transmission. An unsafe channel may allow interception, accidental forwarding, unauthorised access, or exposure on a shared device. Therefore, confidentiality requires both the right recipient and an appropriately secure method. The other options do not describe a realistic privacy risk caused by the channel.
