Answer:

A. Patient condition: improved breathing with new medication.

Step-by-step explanation:

De-identified data refers to data that doesn't show personal information related to a person as name, address, social security number, last name, or other type of information that can lead to identify the person.

Therefore, among options, the only answer that it's not related to personal information is option A, information given is about health condition but it's not about data that can lead to identify the patient.
