Lawsuits limiting monitoring? That sounds more like wishful thinking than reality. Option C doesn't sound right to me.

Ha! If only the Constitution actually protected us from being monitored at work. Option D is clearly a joke answer.

I'm not too sure about that. Isn't there some kind of federal law that restricts workplace monitoring? Option B seems plausible.
