The importance of maintaining chain of custody in forensic evidence collection is best described by the following:
A. It increases the likelihood that evidence will be deemed admissible in court: Maintaining a thorough and accurate chain of custody is crucial for ensuring that forensic evidence can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding. By documenting every step in the process of collecting, handling, and storing forensic evidence, it is possible to establish a clear chain of custody that shows the evidence has not been compromised or tampered with. This can help to increase the likelihood that the evidence will be deemed admissible in court.
F. It ensures the integrity of the collected evidence: Maintaining a chain of custody helps to ensure the integrity of the collected evidence by providing a record of who has handled the evidence and how it has been handled.

The chain of custody exists to ensure the evidence was collected legally and was not subsequently altered.
A,F It is important to maintain the chain of custody to preserve the integrity of the evidence and prevent it from contamination, which can alter the state of the evidence. If not preserved, the evidence presented in court might be challenged and ruled inadmissible.
I would think integrity is more important than confidentiality.
