DACorrect Answer: C. Integrity validation.
Integrity validation ensures that digital evidence has not been altered and can be verified as authentic. Techniques such as cryptographic hashing provide proof that the data remains unchanged from the time of collection, supporting nonrepudiation and admissibility.
Why The Other Options Are Incorrect
A. Offline storage
Offline storage protects evidence from unauthorized access or remote tampering, but it does not by itself prove the data has not been modified.
B. Evidence collection
Evidence collection is the process of gathering data, but it does not ensure ongoing verification that the data remains accurate and untampered.
D. Legal hold
A legal hold prevents destruction of data for legal proceedings, but it does not validate the integrity or authenticity of the evidence.
