Answer: A
Information in all its forms needs to be protected from
unauthorized access. Unrestricted access to the report
option results in an exposure. Efficiency and effectiveness
are not relevant factors in this situation. Greater control
over reports will not be accomplished since reports need not
be in a printed form only. Information could be transmitted
outside as electronic files without printing as print
options allow for printing in an electronic form as well.
