Answer
C. A person whistleblowing
Explanation
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, often referred to as the 'Whistleblowing Act', was introduced to protect workers from detrimental treatment or victimisation from their employer if, in the public interest, they blow the whistle on wrongdoing. This protection covers workers who reveal information on criminal conduct, failures to comply with binding legal obligations, miscarriages of justice, endangerment to health and safety, damage to environment, and concealments on these.Hence this question is asking for the subject that the aforementioned act is meant to protect.
