A personal or household blockchain transaction? What is this, the 1990s? I'm going with C, the only sensible choice here.

Hmm, I don't think the answer is D. Household purposes? Come on, this is an enterprise-level blockchain question!

I agree, it's definitely not D. This is about data protection, not household chores.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. Blockchain transactions that include data subjects in the EU are within the GDPR's material scope, even though the transactions are pseudonymous.
