For which of the following operations would an employer most likely be justified in requesting the data subject’s consent?
Requesting consent is more appropriate when the processing of personal data is not essential to the employment relationship and where the individual has a genuine choice about whether to grant it or not. Since posting an employee’s bicycle race photo on the company’s social media is not directly related to the employment duties and participation is voluntary, seeking consent would be the most justified action.
Not D because processing job candidate's data can rely on other legitimate purpose like pre-entering into a contract, which consent is considered vulnerable in process of employee's data.
The answer should be D.
A, because the employer has another legal basis for the other forms of processing.
