CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 21

Which of the following must be maintained throughout the forensic evidence life cycle when dealing with a piece of evidence?

Answer options

• A. Acceptable use
• B. Chain of custody
• C. Security policy
• D. Information management

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The chain of custody is crucial in ensuring that the evidence can be reliably traced from collection to presentation in court, maintaining its integrity. While acceptable use, security policy, and information management are important in overall data handling and security, they do not specifically address the tracking and preservation of forensic evidence.
