Basic PII includes which items?

• A. Last name, First name, Phone numbers, Street address
• B. Social Security Number
• C. Email address
• D. Credit card number

Answer: (A)

Basic PII is information that directly identifies a person or is used to contact them. The combination of last name, first name, phone numbers, and street address fits this because it clearly identifies an individual and provides practical means to reach them. A Social Security Number is a government-issued identifier and is treated as highly sensitive data. A credit card number is financial information requiring strong protection. An email address is PII as well, but many frameworks keep it separate or treat it as less identifying than a full name plus physical contact details. So, the items listed in that option best illustrate basic PII.
