The correct answer is: C. shall not be given any reason for requesting the information or any other personal details except those that may be necessary for contacting him.
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a law that gives people the right to access information from the federal government. Under FOIA, you can ask for any records that are created or maintained by a federal agency. The agency must either give you the records or explain why it can’t.
FOIA does not require agencies to give you the reason why you are requesting the information. In fact, agencies are not allowed to ask you why you are requesting the information. This is because the government wants to make sure that people can access information without fear of reprisal.
However, agencies are allowed to ask for your name and contact information so that they can send you the records you have requested. They may also ask for
other information, such as your date of birth or Social Security number, if they need it to verify your identity.If you are denied access to information under FOIA, you can appeal the decision. You can also file a lawsuit against the agency.
