"B is correct. There are 3 types of evidences: Best: Do not need anything else. Corroborating: evidence that tends to support a theory or an assumption deduced by some initial evidence. Indirect: extrapolation to a conclusion of fact (such as fingerprints, DNA evidence, and so on) In this case the IP address would corroborate to some other evidence.

Corroborative evidence supports some other evidence, yet the question does not state that their is any other evidence than this log entry and a suspicion. Seems more like this would be circumstantial evidence at the very most and may not even be 'evidence' at all - its just a log entry.

Selected Answer: B
Three types of Evidence: Best Evidence - Original, unaltered evidence. In court, this is preferred over secondary evidence. - The best evidence rule is a legal principle that holds an original copy of a document as superior evidence. Corroborative Evidence - It is an evidence that strengthens or confirms already existing evidence. Indirect Evidence (Circumstantial Evidence) - It is an evidence that relies on an inference to connect it to a conclusion of fact. Like a fingerprint, DNA etc. at the scene of a crime. https://vwannabe.com/2018/01/02/ccna-cyber-ops-secops-1-0/#:~:text=Corroborative%20evidence%3A%20(or%20corroboration),therefore%20confirming%20the%20original%20proposition.

Selected Answer: B
i think B. is correct answer. Corroborating evidence ==> is evidence that strengthens or confirms already existing evidence. ** in this case ==> ip address would corroborate the current evidence.
