All of the following are effects of derivative classification EXCEPT:

• A. Changes classification level based on new information
• B. Makes documents safe for transport
• C. Ensures consistent classification
• D. Allows sharing with authorized individuals

Answer: (B)

Derivative classification governs how material that uses information from already classified sources is labeled, marked, and handled. It ensures the classification level can change if new information warrants a different level, keeps labeling and handling consistent with the source materials, and allows sharing only with individuals who have the appropriate clearance and need-to-know. It does not by itself make documents safe for transport; transport safety involves separate controls like secure packaging, routing, and access during movement. So making documents safe for transport is not an effect of derivative classification.
