To classify information under Executive Order 13526, it must concern at least how many specified categories?

Three
Four
Five
Six

The correct answer is: Five

Under Executive Order 13526, to classify information, it must pertain to one or more specified categories that impact national security. These categories include: 1. Military Plans, Weapons, or Operations 2. Foreign Government Information 3. Intelligence Activities (including covert action) 4. Foreign Relations or Foreign Activities of the United States 5. Scientific, Technological, or Economic Matters relating to national security 6. Vulnerabilities or Capabilities of Systems, Installations, or Projects related to national security Therefore, the requirement is that the information must concern at least one of these six categories to qualify for classification. Thus, selecting five as the number of categories is insufficient, as it fails to include one crucial category that plays a critical role in national security considerations.
