Security Architecture and Design Practice Question

Question

A candidate is reviewing a practice scenario for the CompTIA Security+ involving chain of custody in Security Architecture and Design. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 133)

Answer choices

1. A. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the chain of custody scenario.
2. B. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
3. C. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
4. D. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.

Correct Answer

A. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the chain of custody scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because chain of custody is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
