\(A\)

Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct: Expanding the National Health Data Hub to include private providers and wearable data would provide broader datasets, allowing more comprehensive analysis.

Other options:

  • B is incorrect: Ethical considerations are central to data use in healthcare and cannot be dismissed as irrelevant.
  • C is incorrect: Expansion would broaden the scope of big data use beyond government agencies, not restrict it.
  • D is incorrect: While de-identification is common in research, the key issue in the question is expansion of datasets, not assurance of data anonymity.
