Confidential information is D. not meant to be shared.

Explanation:

The phrase "confidential information" refers to any material, information or document, oral or written, that someone (an individual or a business) does not wish to disclose. This can be because the information is either confidential in nature or because it is only meant to be disclosed in certain circumstance. Public property or information that is of public knowledge cannot be considered confidential information. To protect confidential information, the law provides the action for breach of confidence to those who have agreed or known that the information was, in fact, confidential.

the symbol of the grandfather's heritage in this excerpt from "the medicine bag,” is the beaded bolo tie.

a bolo tie is a cord fastened around the neck with an ornamental clasp which is worn as a necktie. they have been used by native american tribes such as hopi, navajo, zuni, and puebloans since the mid-20th century.

therefore, the fact that the grandfather is wearing a bolo tie refers to his heritage as native american.
