10 points
documentation of every person who had access to evidence, how they interacted with it, and where it was stored is called the
a forensic trail
b chain of custody
c audit trail
d none of the above

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Forensic trail is not the standard term for this concept.
• Option B: Chain of custody is defined as the documentation of who had access to evidence, their interactions with it, and its storage location. This matches the description in the question.
• Option C: Audit trail is more about tracking system or financial transactions, not evidence handling.
• Option D: Since Option B is correct, this is invalid.

Answer:

B. Chain of custody
