The correct answer is leaking confidential documents to expose a company's illegal privacy violations. This is an example of whistleblowing, where sensitive information is released because the actor believes doing so is morally right and will promote transparency or corrective action, even though the disclosure may be illegal. By contrast, the other scenarios align with political activism, financial gain, and revenge motives, rather than an ethical motive as defined in cybersecurity contexts.
