Haha, I bet the data subjects are just dying to withdraw consent. Get it? Dying? Because it's about personal data? Anyway, I think C is the right answer.

This is a tricky one, but I'd go with B. If the processing is unlawful, the data subject shouldn't be able to withdraw consent and enable illegal activities.

I think B makes sense. If it's unlawful, there should be consequences.

D seems like the best option to me. If the data is being archived for the public good, then the data subject's right to withdraw consent can be limited.

That makes sense, so it's important to consider those overriding legitimate grounds when determining if consent can be withdrawn.
