Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The right to be forgotten is a principle under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that allows individuals to request the erasure of their personal data held by organizations. This right intends to enable individuals to manage and control their online presence by requesting the removal of outdated, irrelevant, or excessive personal information from online platforms. The remaining options are incorrect because the right to access, privacy by design, and the right of data portability are not related to the right to be forgotten.
