B is a bad idea! Catching her off guard could backfire big time.

Not sure if giving notice will really help. She might still be defensive.

I feel like asking her when she prefers to be interviewed could come off as too casual, but it might also make her feel more in control. Not sure what to choose!

I'm not sure if avoiding the interview is the best approach. It might be better to try and engage her, but I can see why it could be risky.

I remember we discussed the importance of building rapport in interviews, so maybe giving Brianna advance notice could help.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and I remember that being unprepared can lead to more defensive behavior. So, maybe option C makes sense.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The options seem a bit similar, and I'm not 100% confident in my understanding of the differences between them. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Okay, I've got this. The next step is to label and place the computer into a container, and then label the container. That way the chain of custody is maintained and the evidence is properly secured.

Okay, I've got a good strategy here. I'll review the reference information on admin roles to help me determine the most likely cause of the permissions error.
