Explanation

Cloud forensics is a subset of digital forensics applied to cloud environments and involves collecting, preserving, and analyzing digital evidence. Standard forensics terminology includes: eDiscovery (the process of identifying and collecting electronic evidence for legal proceedings), chain of custody (the documented trail showing who handled evidence and when, ensuring its integrity), and analysis (the systematic examination of collected evidence). Plausibility - meaning the quality of seeming reasonable or probable - is not a recognized term or concept within the forensics discipline. It belongs more to logical reasoning or argumentation contexts, not forensic methodology.
