This system can be triggered by a date or event designated by the OCA:

• A. Scheduled Declassification
• B. Date-Based Declassification
• C. Manual Declassification
• D. Random Declassification

Answer: (C)

Triggering declassification by a date or event designated by the Original Classification Authority means a human decision point is built into the process: the OCA sets when a release should be considered, and when that date or event occurs, a manual declassification action is taken. This differs from automatic date-based or event-based declassification, where the system releases without requiring a person to sign off. A random declassification would not follow a controlled, authority-based schedule. So the mechanism described relies on manual declassification, with the OCA designating the trigger and authorizing the release.
