Explanation
Treating each incident as a crime (A) ensures investigators apply rigorous documentation, evidence preservation, and chain-of-custody protocols from the outset - because if you later discover criminal activity occurred and you didn't handle it properly, the evidence may be inadmissible or compromised. Option B ("as the last") makes no logical sense in investigative context. Option C ("as the best") is vague and offers no methodological guidance. Option D ("as appropriate to the times") introduces subjective, inconsistent standards that could lead to under-investigation of serious incidents.
Memory tip: Think "crime scene mindset" - always start at the highest standard of care. It's easier to scale down from a criminal investigation posture than to recover from a sloppy one.
