Option C is incorrect. You should never remove the power cable, as that could potentially cause data loss or corruption. The power state should be documented, but the cable should remain as is.

Haha, turning on the computer? That's like asking a detective to set a crime scene on fire before investigating. Not the brightest idea!

I agree with Tyra. Turning on the computer could overwrite or alter important evidence, making it unusable for the investigation.
