Paraphrase the sentence to avoid plagiarism: 'The system stores user data securely to protect privacy'.

• A. The system stores data publicly to improve access.
• B. The system stores user data insecurely.
• C. The system securely stores user information to safeguard privacy.
• D. The system deletes user data to protect privacy.

Answer: (C)

Paraphrasing is restating the same idea with different words while keeping the meaning intact. Here the important idea is that the system stores data about users and does so securely to protect privacy. The best choice captures both pieces by saying the system securely stores user information to safeguard privacy. “Stores” stays as the action, “securely” preserves the security aspect, and “user information” is a natural synonym for “user data.” “To safeguard privacy” matches “to protect privacy,” both expressing the purpose.

The other options shift the meaning: one implies data is public and aimed at easier access, which contradicts the privacy and security intent; another states insecurity; another changes the action to deletion, which is a different operation entirely.
