Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bit-stream copy, also known as a forensic image or exact copy, is a complete copy of the storage medium, including all the data, metadata, and unallocated space, in an identical order at the bit level. It makes a sector-by-sector copy of the original storage medium, including deleted files and hidden data, and preserves the integrity of the evidence. This type of copy is commonly used for forensic purposes, data recovery, or system backups. The other choices (A, B, and C) are ambiguous and do not describe the specific characteristics of a bit-stream copy.
