Selected Answer: A
o dd command is a low-level utility that creates a bit-for-bit copy of a disk, essentially capturing an exact image of the hard drive. This is crucial in forensic investigations as it preserves the original state of the evidence, ensuring that any analysis done on the image does not alter the original data.
