What is the fundamental difference between Opt In and Opt Out?

Opt In assumes consent unless explicitly denied; Opt Out requires action to start processing information
Opt In prohibits processing without consent; Opt Out allows processing freely
Opt In requires action to start processing information; Opt Out assumes consent unless explicitly denied
Opt In and Opt Out have no differences

The correct answer is: Opt In assumes consent unless explicitly denied; Opt Out requires action to start processing information

Opting in means that consent is assumed unless explicitly denied, requiring individuals to take action to start the processing of their information. On the other hand, opting out requires individuals to actively take steps to stop the processing of their information. This fundamental difference is why option A is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect because opting in does not necessarily prohibit processing without consent, while option C is incorrect as it states that opting out assumes consent, which is not the case. Option D is clearly incorrect because, as explained, there are distinct differences between Opt In and Opt Out.
