Answer 1

The options that apply are:

B, C, D,

Step-by-step explanation:

AUP refers to the Acceptable Use Policy.

The AUP is usually created to protect company IT resources which include but are not limited to Data (as in information), Data (as in bandwidth) and general IT security.

When people are issued, an AUP, it is so that they understand that they aren't the only ones who need and who use the company's IT resources especially data, hence, they have to use the same responsibly.

So, it may be qualified as a "fair use policy".

It is usually created and administered by the owner, key administrator of an online network, website, or service.

It serves the purpose of providing guidance as to how the resource must be used.
