CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 325

The courts determined that a cybercrimes case could no longer be prosecuted due to the agency’s handling of evidence. Which of the following was MOST likely violated during the investigation?

Answer options

• A. Open-source software
• B. EULA
• C. Chain of custody
• D. AUP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Chain of custody, as it refers to the proper handling and documentation of evidence to ensure its integrity in court. If this chain is broken, it can lead to the evidence being deemed inadmissible. The other options, while related to software and usage policies, do not directly pertain to the legal handling of evidence in investigations.
