B? To get to know the needs of the various stakeholders first

The first major goal should be B. Executive Buy-in and Collaboration: Establishing a successful privacy program requires support and cooperation across the entire organization. Conversations with executives of affected departments are crucial for: 1- Gaining their understanding of the importance of privacy. 2- Identifying existing data processing activities and potential risks. 3- Securing their commitment to implementing privacy measures. 4- Establishing cross-departmental collaboration. Understanding the Organization: Before any policies or procedures can be developed, the privacy team must understand the organization's data flows, business processes, and existing practices.

D should be correct

The first major goal of a company developing a new privacy program should be to establish a comprehensive understanding of privacy requirements, risks, and regulations relevant to its operations. This involves conducting a thorough privacy assessment to identify and assess the personal data the company collects, processes, and stores.
