The correct answer is D. Negotiating consent decrees with companies found to be in violation of privacy principles benefits both parties involved by sparing the expense of going to trial. By opting for a consent decree, both the FTC and the company can avoid the time-consuming and costly process of litigation, including a trial. This approach allows for a more efficient resolution to the matter and enables the company to take corrective actions more quickly. Additionally, it can help the company avoid potentially harmful publicity that could arise from a public trial or a prolonged legal battle. While consent decrees might include penalties or fines, they often focus on implementing measures to improve compliance and protect consumers' privacy rights.
The FTC doesn't benefit from the absence of harmful publicity. Both parties do benefit from avoiding the expense of a lengthy trial, so the answer is D.
