Not repeating a confidential meeting discussion in an unauthorised group indicates which skill?

Correct answer: Confidentiality management

The direct answer is D: confidentiality management. Confidential information is shared only with people who are authorised and need to know it for a proper work purpose. Not repeating a confidential meeting discussion in an unauthorised group shows that the employee understands this boundary and protects trust, privacy, and organisational responsibility. Option D is therefore the most precise answer. Option A, general etiquette, is broader and may include politeness, punctuality, or good manners, but it does not specifically identify controlled information sharing. Option B, mere silence, is incomplete because confidentiality is not simply saying nothing; it involves knowing what information is restricted, who may receive it, and how it should be stored or communicated. Option C, personal choice, makes confidentiality sound optional, whereas professional rules may require it. The employee should follow policy and report accidental disclosure when necessary. Memory cue: before sharing, ask, “Who is authorised to know?”
