On the exam was only one option. So the driver license is the correct answer.

Although credit card is not on the list if it was given to the credit card company they could identify you from that 1 piece of information alone as no-one else will have that same credit card number. Correct answer Driving License.

I guess Date of birth and driver license number are both correct... From 200-201 Training Resources: Examples of PII data include the following: Name, such as full name, maiden name, mother's maiden name Telephone numbers, including home, and mobile numbers !!!Date and place of birth!!! Passport number, social security number, !!!driver license number!!! Personal characteristics, including photographic image [..]

I agree with you,there are two reliable of source of answer. And the exam strongly deals with PII. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-122(4) defines personally identifiable information (PII) as "any information about an individual that is maintained by an agency, including any information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as name, social security number, date and place of birth, mother's maiden name, or biometric records; and any other information that is linked or linkable to an individual, such as medical, educational, financial, and employment information." - Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals Official Course

Other: According to the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of the Chief Information Officer, PII refers to “information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity.” The following are a few examples: - An individual’s name - Social security number - Biological or personal characteristics, such as an image of distinguishing features, fingerprints, Xrays, voice signature, retina scan, and the geometry of the face - Date and place of birth - Mother’s maiden name - Credit card numbers - Bank account numbers - Driver license number - Address information, such as email addresses or street addresses, and telephone numbers for businesses or personal use - Cisco CyberOps Associate CBROPS 200-201 Official Cert Guide Omar Santos

something is not concidered as PII unless it is linked to a name. without a name a DOB or credit card number etc is not a PII. Given answer is correct.

They are all attributes that can be used together to possibly identify you but only the drivers licence on it's own from the given list can uniquely identify you as no one else has the same drivers number whereas being male, having a zip code and even your date of birth are not unique to you.
