Question

regarding employee records, why is it wise to have multiple redundancies?
in case employee records are lost or destroyed
to decrease the likelihood of unauthorized access of files
so that every employee can see how they compare to their coworkers

Explanation:

• Redundancy (keeping multiple copies) of employee records is mainly for data preservation. If records are lost/destroyed (due to system failure, disaster, etc.), having backups (redundancies) ensures the data is still available.
• Option B: Redundancy doesn’t decrease unauthorized access (security measures like encryption/access controls do that).
• Option C: Employee records with personal/confidential info aren’t for comparing employees, and redundancy isn’t for this purpose.

Answer:

A. in case employee records are lost or destroyed
