Certified Incident Handler (ECIH) — Question 16

Kason, a forensic officer, was appointed to investigate a case where a threat actor has bullied certain children online. Before proceeding legally with the case, Kason has documented all the supporting documents, including source of the evidence and its relevance to the case, before presenting it in front of the jury.
Which of the following rules of evidence was discussed in the above scenario?

Answer options

• A. Authentic
• B. Understandable
• C. Reliable
• D. Admissible

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Authentic' because Kason ensured that the evidence is genuine and can be verified. The other options, such as 'Understandable', 'Reliable', and 'Admissible', relate to other aspects of evidence but do not specifically address the requirement for the evidence to be proven as originating from a legitimate source.
