Q: Identify the correct statement in the following:

A Confidentiality is a process to prevent unauthorized alteration of information.
B Authorization validates user identity.
C Accountability is a process to prevent repudiation.
D None of the above options is correct.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The correct answer is:

Accountability is a process to prevent repudiation.

Explanation:

Confidentiality refers to protecting information from unauthorized access, not preventing alteration.
Authorization refers to granting or denying access to resources based on user identity, but it is not directly responsible for validating user identity. Authentication is the process that validates a user's identity.
Accountability involves ensuring that actions can be traced to specific individuals, which helps prevent repudiation (denial of actions taken).

Thus, the statement "Accountability is a process to prevent repudiation" is the correct one.
