Even if it's curiosity, it's still unethical. I would choose option B) No.

But what if it's just out of curiosity and not malicious intent?

Hmm, I can see both sides of this. On one hand, it's a breach of privacy. But on the other hand, if you know the person, maybe you could, you know, help them out or something. I don't know, it's a tough call.

I'm sorry, but I have to go with 'No' on this one. I know you're curious, but it's just not worth the risk. Imagine if the tables were turned and someone did that to your medical records. Not cool.

Nope, nope, nope. That's a huge ethical violation and could get you in a lot of trouble. I don't care if you know the person, you have no right to access their medical information without permission. Hard pass on that one.

Come on, it's just one record. What's the harm? Besides, you know the person, so it's not like you're snooping on a complete stranger. I say go for it!

I get that you're curious, but reading someone's medical record without their consent is a big no-no. That information is private and should only be accessed by authorized personnel for legitimate purposes.

Absolutely not! That's a huge breach of patient privacy and confidentiality. I can't believe someone would even consider doing that, let alone in an exam question.
