Answer: A

Explanation:

Confidentiality: There are two types of data: data in motion as it moves across the network; and data at rest, when data is sitting on storage media (server, local workstation, in the cloud, and so forth). Confidentiality means that only the authorized individuals/ systems can view sensitive or classified information.
