Correct Answer: B

Material exempt from an individual's right to disclosure under the Privacy Act includes investigatory material compiled for law enforcement purposes, other than those relating to criminal investigations. This exemption is to protect the confidentiality and integrity of non-criminal investigative work and to ensure that sources providing information under a promise of confidentiality are shielded.

Exemption (k)(2). Note that the answer is not D, because D specifically references criminal law, which is carved out of the exception. https://www.dea.gov/foia/privacy-act-exemptions
