Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Should be D - from the textbook "he CJEU ruled dynamic IP addresses would be personal data in the hands of the German state because, ‘in the event of cyber attacks’, German law allowed the German state to obtain the additional identifying information from ISPs to determine the specific individual to whom a particular IP address related".
