Which set of activities includes procedure development, evidence assessment, evidence acquisition, evidence examination, documenting, and reporting?

• A. Digital Forensic Analysis Steps
• B. Forensic Case Management
• C. Evidence Handling Protocol
• D. Digital Evidence Lifecycle

Answer: (A)

In digital forensics, the work follows a defined sequence that starts with planning and procedure development, then assesses what evidence is relevant, securely acquires it, thoroughly examines it, records how the process was carried out, and finally reports the findings. This flow—planning, acquisition, examination, documentation, and reporting—is exactly what Digital Forensic Analysis Steps describe, making it the best fit for the set of activities.

Other options focus on broader or different aspects: Forensic Case Management deals with coordinating investigations and resources, Evidence Handling Protocol centers on secure handling and chain of custody, and Digital Evidence Lifecycle covers the overall life stages of evidence but not the specific analytic workflow and reporting that this list emphasizes.
