It is a privacy rule.  

A) privacy rule

Explanation:

Often when seeking medical attention we want to keep motives, treatments and any other situation that occurs within the doctor's office in confidence. Healthcare organizations are required to maintain this patient information in complete confidence. This is because the patient's personal information is confidential and only concerns the patient and the professionals involved in the treatment.

This obligation of medical institutions to keep confidential information confidential is called the privacy rule.
