B.Look up the information requested. Since data is considered part of the project. There is no conflict of interest. Why I choose this answer is because in the projects there are different stakeholder's,they can be in financing,contracting and other so for this case you have to look the information requested and which category of this stakeholder has.

Answer: DExplanation: The situation presented here requires you to put the interest of the company and the confidentiality of the data above your own personal interests or those of your stakeholders. D is not the most correct response because it says you believe the information is public. This implies you haven't verified whether the data is private or public. Until you know, treat the data as confidential. In this case, the information is confidential and should be shared only with those who have a valid reason for using it.

Would suggest that she personally contact her favorite superstar.

My reponse would be d) as I have no right to look/verify the tax account of a person, unless if I am empoyed by the country's tax department and this is my responsability to do so.
