Information for detecting unauthorized input from a terminal would be BEST provided by the: A. c..

Answer / guest

Answer: B

The transaction journal would record all transaction
activity, which then could be compared to the authorized
source documents to identify any unauthorized input. A
console log printout is not the best because it would not
record activity from a specific terminal. An automated
suspense file listing would only list transaction activity
where an edit error occurred, and the user error report
would only list input that resulted in an edit error.
