Explanation
When a legal case requires e-discovery, organizations must immediately issue a litigation hold and preserve electronically stored information (ESI) in a recoverable form. Data recovery and storage practices determine whether relevant data can actually be found, preserved, and produced in a format acceptable to the court. If data cannot be recovered or was improperly stored or deleted after the hold was triggered, the company faces spoliation sanctions. Option A (data ownership) is a secondary concern. Option B (data size on physical disks) is a hardware metric, not a legal consideration. Option C limits scope to only file servers, ignoring email archives, databases, cloud storage, and endpoint data - all of which may be subject to discovery.
