The European Union passed the first major regulation declaring data privacy to be a human right. In what year did it go into effect?
The European Union's Directive 95/46/EC, which was adopted in 1995, established strong data protection and privacy requirements, declaring data privacy to be a fundamental right. It included provisions for individuals to be notified when their personal data was accessed or processed and ensured that data was only accessed for legitimate purposes and to the minimum extent necessary. This directive laid the groundwork for future regulations, such as GDPR.
GDPR is a regulation.. 95/46 was only a directive... but doesn't matter in this context: C is correct
The directive was repealed to the regulation in 2018 (see https://gdpr-text.com/read/article-94/). But all that is irrelevant. In the context of the ISC2 question, their answer is rightfully 1995.

C. 1995
The European Union’s Directive 95/46/EC (often referred to as the Data Protection Directive) went into effect in 1995 and famously recognized privacy as a fundamental human right. It laid the groundwork for data protection principles later incorporated into the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
