Data protection law is an example of which dimension?

Correct answer: Legal dimension

The direct answer is Option A: the legal dimension. A data-protection law is a formal rule made or enforced by a government authority. It tells organisations how personal data may be collected, stored, used, shared, and protected, and it may prescribe penalties for violation. The fact chain is: the subject is data protection; the question calls it a law; laws belong to the legal dimension of the business environment. Hence Option A is correct. Option B, the technological dimension, may include data-security software or encryption, but the question is about the law, not the technical tool. Option C, the social dimension, includes public attitudes, culture, values, and lifestyles; people’s privacy concerns may be social, but a law itself is legal. Option D, the economic dimension, includes income, prices, inflation, interest rates, and business cycles; none is the main subject here. Exam cue: words such as law, Act, regulation, rule, licence, or legal compliance normally indicate the legal dimension.
