A company labeled some documents with the public sensitivity - CompTIA Security+ SY0-701

Question

A company labeled some documents with the public sensitivity classification. This means the documents can be accessed by:

Answers

all members of the department that created the documents.
Only executives and senior management with special authorization
correct

only the company's employees and those listed in the document.
only the individuals listed in the documents.

Explanation

Correct Answer C. Only the company's employees and those listed in the document

The "Public" sensitivity classification means the document is cleared for general internal access (all employees) and any explicitly authorized external parties. It's the lowest internal classification but still controlled.

Why others are wrong:

A - Too restrictive. Limiting access to only one department contradicts the "public" label, which implies broader availability across the organization.
B - Too restrictive. Executives-only access describes a Confidential or Restricted classification, not Public.
D - Too restrictive. Limiting access only to individuals listed in the document describes a Private or Restricted classification, not Public.
