What action does Obfuscation-based techniques take to protect data?

  1. Encrypt all data

  2. Reduce precision and add confusion to data to prevent linkage to individuals

  3. Completely delete all data

  4. Store data indefinitely

The correct answer is: Reduce precision and add confusion to data to prevent linkage to individuals

Obfuscation-based techniques aim to protect data by reducing precision and adding confusion to the data in order to prevent linkage to individuals. This is different from encrypting all data, completely deleting all data, or storing data indefinitely, as these actions do not specifically focus on obfuscating the data to prevent linkage to individuals.
