Answer: C
Unless controlled, spooling for offline printing may enable
additional copies to be printed. Print files are unlikely to
be available for online reading by operators. Data on spool
files are no easier to amend without authority than any
other file. There is usually a lesser threat of unauthorized
access to sensitive reports in the event of a system failure.
