Which of the following BEST facilitates the legal process in the event of an incident?

ARight to perform e-discovery

BAdvice from legal counsel

CPreserving the chain of custody

DResults of a root cause analysis

Suggested Answer: C

The best way to facilitate the legal process in the event of an incident is to preserve the chain of custody of the evidence. The chain of custody is a record of who handled, accessed, or modified the evidence, when, where, how, and why. The chain of custody helps to ensure the integrity, authenticity, and admissibility of the evidence in a court of law. The chain of custody also helps to prevent tampering, alteration, or loss of evidence that could compromise the investigation or the prosecution.Reference:

Root cause analysis sounds relevant, but I doubt it directly facilitates the legal process compared to the other options.

I’m leaning towards e-discovery because it seems like it would help gather evidence quickly, but I could be wrong.

I remember a practice question that emphasized the role of legal counsel, but I feel like chain of custody might be more critical in some cases.
