question 9 of 10
what might happen to personal information when it is transferred using digital signals?
a. some information might be changed when the data are copied.
b. the information might change to analog, making it less reliable.
c. it might be accessed by someone who was not the intended recipient.
d. the information might change while being transmitted because of noise.

Explanation:

Digital signals are discrete and less prone to noise - induced changes compared to analog signals. However, security is a concern. When personal information is transferred using digital signals, unauthorized access (by someone not the intended recipient) is a risk. Option A: Digital data is not changed to analog during normal transmission in a digital - only system. Option B: Digital signals do not convert to analog in a proper digital transmission. Option D: Digital signals have error - correction mechanisms and are less affected by noise compared to analog.

Answer:

C. It might be accessed by someone who was not the intended recipient.
