    Solution

    As per Section 6(3) of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, a Data Principal has the right to withdraw consent at any time. The Act provides individuals with autonomy and control over their personal data. Once consent is withdrawn, the Data Fiduciary must cease processing the data unless another lawful ground applies. • Options A, B, C, and D are all legitimate grounds or scenarios where consent may be withdrawn. • Option E is incorrect because consent is revocable, and this is a central feature of the Act.
