Explanation
Case assessment in digital forensics involves evaluating and planning the forensic examination. Proper case assessment requires reviewing the investigator's request, identifying legal authority, and coordinating with other forensic processes. Documenting the chain of custody is a fundamental and mandatory requirement in forensic investigations - it tracks who handled the evidence, when, and why, ensuring evidence integrity and admissibility in court. Choosing NOT to document chain of custody directly undermines the forensic process and the evidentiary value of findings, making option C the statement that does NOT support case assessment.
