Correct answer: D
Explanation
Non-repudiation is a security principle that ensures that people are held accountable for their transactions(see ISC2 Study Guide, Domain 1). Non-repudiation is used to protect the integrity of digital transactions and to ensure that the sender of a message or transaction cannot later deny having sent it.
The other options are not related to the purpose of non-repudiation. Protection of personal and sensitive data is a security measure used to protect the confidentiality of data. Protecting an organization from incurring penalties or fines for mishandling, misusing, or improperly protecting personal or private information is a security measure used to protect data integrity. Interpreting privacy regulations and laws is a security measure to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and laws.
