Best answer
Right answer is (b) In case of legal issues

The best explanation: A doctor and a patient or a hospital and the patient maintain a strict confidentiality regarding the medical history of the patient. This is to prevent any misuse of the medical case. It is only when there are severe legal issues that patients medical history can be disclosed. Even when data is gathered for study purposes, the name and other details or the person are never given.
