Explanation

Option A is correct because the KFF Alert Editor is the dedicated FTK utility that lets examiners customize how individual hash sets behave within the active Known File Filter - specifically toggling sets between "Alert" (flag the file as notable) and "Ignore" (filter the file out as known/safe).

Option B (ADKFF Library Selector) is a fabricated-sounding distractor; the actual KFF management involves importing libraries, not a component by this name - it conflates "library management" with "status editing." Option C (Hash Database File Selector) sounds like a file-browsing dialog, not a behavioral configuration tool. Option D (Hash Database Recovery Engine) implies repair/restoration functionality, which has nothing to do with setting alert or ignore flags.

Memory tip: Think "Alert Editor → lets you set alerts." The word "Alert" appears in both the tool name and the function it performs, making it a self-describing answer on exam day.
