The Correct Answer is C
A. when a mother asks the doctor about sessions the doctor had with her 16-year-old daughter

Spouses are not entitled to this information unless consent is given.
C. when there is an imminent danger to the patient or others and in cases of suspected child abuse
These are exceptions to confidentiality laws; providers must report imminent danger or abuse.
