B Correct answer
Explanation

GET method submits form data as part of the URL in the query string, which is visible in browser history, logs, and can be bookmarked - making it insecure for sensitive data. POST method sends data in the request body, which is not visible in the URL and more secure. Additionally, GET has length limitations (URL length restrictions), while POST can send much larger amounts of data.
