The correct option is PHI.

PHI stands for Protected Health Information and it includes diagnosis notes and treatment records when those records are linked to an identifiable patient. This category of data is explicitly covered by HIPAA and describes health information created or maintained by a healthcare provider about a person and their treatment.

PCI is incorrect because that term refers to payment card data and credit card information rather than medical diagnoses or treatment records.

PII is incorrect because it refers to personally identifiable information in a general sense and although health records may contain PII the specific legal and regulatory classification for medical records is PHI under HIPAA.

PCD is incorrect because it is not a standard designation for protected medical records in privacy regulations and it does not describe protected health information.
