Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When data is concentrated in computer files, it may be accessible by anyone who has access to the same network. This can lead to unauthorized access, fraud, errors, and misuse. Therefore, it is important to have proper security measures and access controls in place to protect electronic data. A and B may also make data more susceptible to destruction, fraud, error, and misuse, but they are not as significant as the issue of accessibility mentioned in C. D is also a factor, but it is included in C as part of the need for up-to-date security systems.
