Answer:

c. It's a high security risk to store that kind of data.

Step-by-step explanation:

A credit card has a lot of important and personal data of the user, for this reason, allowing software, even commercial software to have access to this information, can promote a high security risk, because frauds can occur that promote damage to the user. For this reason, it is important that before providing the data, the user knows the software very well.
