What is the purpose of surveillance?

To locate, obtain, and prevent
To intimidate the subject
To gather information exclusively for public dissemination
To test surveillance equipment

The correct answer is: To locate, obtain, and prevent

The purpose of surveillance is not simply to locate and obtain information, but also to prevent certain events or behaviors. Option A provides a more comprehensive and accurate purpose of surveillance compared to the other options. Option B refers to using surveillance as a means of intimidation, which may not be the primary purpose in all situations. Option C limits the purpose of surveillance to only gathering information for public dissemination, rather than for other purposes such as safety or security. Option D refers to using surveillance for testing equipment, which is not necessarily the main purpose of surveillance. Overall, option A most accurately explains the primary purpose of surveillance.
