    Correct Answer: A, C, D

    Explanation

    First, the dataset should be encrypted before being stored. This ensures that the data is protected when stored in a repository. The encrypted dataset can be stored in a GitHub secret, ensuring it is securely kept and not exposed publicly. The encryption key needed to decrypt the dataset should also be stored in a GitHub secret to maintain security during the workflow, allowing access only when needed.
