Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
You can access data in a content provider, even if you don't have the proper access permissions, by sending an intent to an application that does have the permissions and receiving back a result intent containing "URI" permissions. These are permissions for a specific content URI that last until the activity that receives them is finished.
Incorrect:
A: A content provider manages access to a central repository of data.
