Answer:

c. Jenika has the cashier run her debit card as a credit purchase, rather than debit, to avoid having to enter her PIN.

Explanation:

The other answers are not the best way to safeguard persona info because of the following:

a. Somebody could steal Allison's car while she pays her electric bill.

b. The person on the phone could falsify their name and steall all of Byron's information.

d. The doctor's office could still share the information without Lydell knowning.

By not entering her PIN Jenika is reducing the risk that someone might see it and use it against her.
