When integrity is lacking in a security system, _________ occurs.

A) Data tampering

B) Data deletion

C) Data leakage

Correct Answer : Data tampering

Explanation : The term data tampering is used when integrity is compromised in any security model and checking its integrity later becomes costlier.
