Explanation

An asset tag is the company-assigned identifier used in IT asset management systems to track ownership, location, and disposition of equipment. It is the most important identifier to provide to the legal department because it ties the physical device directly to the company's inventory records and the employee's assigned assets-establishing legal accountability for the unreturned property. Serial numbers (B) are manufacturer-assigned and useful, but asset tags are the primary internal tracking mechanism. Labeling (A) and warranty (C) are secondary concerns in a legal dispute over unreturned property.
