Selected Answer: D
Dummy data is typically fabricated or non-sensitive data used to simulate real data in a testing environment. The main purpose of using dummy data is to allow developers to test the functionality of software without risking exposure to sensitive or personally identifiable information (PII). B and C involve protecting or managing real data, which is not the point of dummy data. These techniques are used when real data is being anonymized or when privacy controls are being applied to actual datasets. D correctly identifies that with dummy data, developers do not need to handle real personal data, which reduces the need for specialized privacy training related to data protection laws and regulations.
