question 17 of 30
you found a thumb drive that someone dropped on the sidewalk near the emergency department. you should:

• plug it into a computer to see if you can identify the owner and return it
• walk on by
• pick it up and throw it away
• pick it up and give to the it security officer or the privacy officer.

Explanation:

Plugging a found thumb drive into a computer poses security risks (e.g., malware, data privacy violations). Walking by or throwing it away ignores proper handling of potentially sensitive lost property. The correct action is to pick it up and give it to the IT Security Officer or Privacy Officer, who can handle it securely to identify the owner and protect data.

Answer:

D. Pick it up and give to the IT Security Officer or the Privacy Officer. (Note: Assuming the last option is labeled D; adjust label if original has different numbering, but the text of the option is "Pick it up and give to the IT Security Officer or the Privacy Officer".)
