Selected Answer: A

The violation in this scenario is "Chain of custody" (A). The chain of custody refers to the process of maintaining a record of the location, custody, and control of electronic evidence from the time it is collected to the time it is presented in court. In the given scenario, the security administrator accidentally deleted the perpetrator's user data during the investigation, which violates the chain of custody. By deleting the data, the administrator has altered the original evidence, which can affect the outcome of the investigation and any legal proceedings that may follow.
