Selected Answer: B
The correct answer is **B. By differentiating users based upon parameters**. Browser fingerprinting compromises privacy by collecting and analyzing various parameters, such as browser type, operating system, installed fonts, and other unique characteristics of a user's device. This information can be combined to create a unique "fingerprint" that can differentiate and track users across different websites, often without their knowledge or consent. This compromises user privacy by enabling the tracking of online behavior without explicit permission.

Selected Answer: B
The correct answer is **B. By differentiating users based upon parameters**. Browser fingerprinting compromises privacy by collecting and analyzing various parameters (such as browser type, screen resolution, installed plugins, and other system characteristics) to uniquely identify and differentiate users. This technique can track users across different websites without their explicit consent, leading to privacy concerns as it allows for the creation of a detailed profile of the user’s online activities.
