Security is not equal to privacy, but security is absolutely a means of protecting privacy. They asked how to protect privacy which absolutely is in the realm of security.
You don't gain additional privacy from using 2FA, but your personal info is less likely to be stolen versus person info protected by less secure authentication methods.
Privacy uses security to protect itself. Security doesn't increase privacy. It increases privacy protection, which is what they asked about.
