CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 105

To bring digital evidence in a court of law, the evidence must be:

Answer options

• A. material.
• B. tangible.
• C. consistent.
• D. conserved.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as material evidence is necessary to establish facts in court. While tangible evidence (B) can be important, it is not a requirement for digital evidence, which may not always be physically present. Consistency (C) and conservation (D) are also relevant but do not directly address the fundamental requirement of materiality in legal proceedings.
