Question

1. (01.05 mc) a software developer is developing a new app, teamchat, that high schools can use to help sports teams communicate during their seasons. the developer is concerned about the students’ personally identifiable information (pii). which of the following pieces of information are most likely to be direct pii? (2 points)

i. student id number
ii. student grade level
iii. student social security number
options:

• i, ii, and iii
• ii and iii only
• i and ii only
• i and iii only

Explanation:

1. Student ID number: Can be used to identify a specific student, so it's PII.
2. Student grade level: While less direct, in combination with other info or in a specific context, it can help identify (e.g., a high school senior with a unique ID and grade level). However, more importantly, Student ID number (I) and Student Social Security number (III) are clear PII. Wait, actually, Personal Identifiable Information (PII) includes data that can be used to identify an individual. Student ID number (I) is unique to a student, Student Social Security number (III) is highly sensitive PII, and Student grade level (II) alone is not PII, but the options here—wait, the original question's options: the first option is "I, II, and III". Wait, no, correction: Student ID number (I) is PII, Student Social Security number (III) is PII. Student grade level (II) is not PII as it's a general category. But maybe the question considers that when combined? Wait, no, the correct PII here: Student ID number (I) and Student Social Security number (III) are PII. But the options: the first option is "I, II, and III", second "II and III only", third "I and II only", fourth "I and III only". Wait, the user's image: let's re-express. The question is about which are direct PII. Student ID number (I) is PII (can identify a student). Student grade level (II): grade level (e.g., 9th, 10th) is not unique to an individual, so not PII. Student Social Security number (III) is PII. But the options: the last option is "I and III only". Wait, the user's image: the options are:

• I, II, and III

• II and III only

• I and II only

• I and III only

So the correct answer is "I and III only"? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the problem says "direct PII". Student ID number (I) is direct PII (unique to student). Student grade level (II): not direct PII (many students in same grade). Student Social Security number (III): direct PII (unique to individual). So the correct answer is "I and III only", which is the last option. Wait, but the user's image: the last option is "I and III only". So the answer is "I and III only".

Wait, I made a mistake earlier. Let's re-express:

• I: Student ID number – PII (can identify a student).

• II: Student grade level – not PII (multiple students share same grade).

• III: Student Social Security number – PII (unique to individual).

So the correct combination is I and III only, which is the last option.

Answer:

I, II, and III
