The correct answer is

Funders will have access to respondants

Confidentiality is a basic principle of research ethics: information given by respondents must be protected so that it cannot be traced back to them and is used only for the stated research purpose.

It is ensured by changing names (pseudonyms), keeping respondents anonymous, and protecting their identity in field notes, data files and publications. So changing names, anonymity and protecting identity are all part of confidentiality.

Giving funders access to respondents breaks confidentiality, since sponsors would learn who said what. Ethical codes (e.g. the ISA and ASA codes) require that identifiable data are not shared with funders or any third party without informed consent.

Hence, the answer is Funders will have access to respondants.
