Step 2: Analysis of options.
- (A) The makers of privacy law seems to be in a dilemma as they often have no existing framework to define the scope of sensitive personal data, like political and religious views, ethnicity and biometric data, also, what should be available in the public domain for one and all to see: The phrase "makers of privacy law seems" is grammatically incorrect; it should be "makers of privacy law seem."

- (C) Over political and religious views, ethnicity and biometric data, and, what should be available in the public domain for one and all to see, the makers of privacy law are in a dilemma as they often have no existing framework to define the scope of sensitive personal data: This option is awkward and convoluted. The sentence is not clear or fluid.
