both b and c.

Explanation:

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) includes the feature of amending medical records. Human entry errors (e.g., typos in patient details) can occur. Also, patients may have a different opinion than physicians on diagnosis/treatment (e.g., a patient may think a symptom was missed). Theft of medical information for criminal purposes (e.g., identity theft) is about security, not amending records.

Answer:

E. both B and C.
