Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Right to erasure (deleting personal data).
Why this is correct
Erasure requests must be addressed without undue delay, generally within one month.
- ✗
Right to object to processing (ceasing processing).
Why it's wrong here
Objection requests must be responded to, but the timeline may vary.
- ✗
Right to rectification (correcting inaccurate data).
Why it's wrong here
Rectification should be done without undue delay, but the one-month timeline is not explicitly stated for this right alone.
- ✓
Right of access (providing a copy of personal data).
Why this is correct
Access requests must be responded to within one month.
- ✗
Right to data portability (transferring data to another controller).
Why it's wrong here
Portability has a one-month timeline but also depends on technical feasibility; however, it is not always required.
