Explanation
The standard SOP for digital forensic investigations follows a logical sequence: (1) Request for service - the investigation is formally initiated; (2) Initial analysis - preliminary scoping to understand the nature of the case; (3) Data collection - evidence is acquired using forensically sound methods; (4) Data analysis - collected evidence is examined and interpreted; (5) Data reporting - findings are documented and presented. The key distinction from the wrong answers is that 'request for service' comes before 'initial analysis,' and 'data analysis' always precedes 'data reporting.'
