Answer: A
Backup files containing documents, which supposedly have
been deleted, could be recovered from these files. Access
controls may help establish accountability for the issuance
of a particular document, but this does not provide evidence
of the e-mail. Data classification standards may be in place
with regards to what should be communicated via e-mail, but
the creation of the policy does not provide the information
required for litigation purposes.
