. Polyinstantiation: This refers to having multiple instances of the same data with different classifications (e.g., for multilevel security databases). It doesn’t apply here.
B. Inference: While similar, inference involves deducing hidden information from observable data (e.g., guessing a secret from trends). Aggregation is more about combining data to reveal something not directly accessible. D. Data mining: This is a legitimate analytical process, not an attack.
