This is the foundational principle of personnel security—protecting national security by vetting those who handle classified information.

A) Change in status B) Adverse Information (DUI/DWI) C) Foreign contacts D) All of the above Correct Answer: D Rationale: All of the listed items—change in status, adverse information such as DUI/DWI, and foreign contacts—must be reported.
