In the context of legal proceedings and trial practice, discovery refers to:

A.
The process in which the prosecution presents information it has uncovered to the defense,
including potential witnesses, reports resulting from the investigation, evidence, and so on

B.
The process undertaken by the investigators to acquire evidence needed for prosecution of a case

C.
The process of obtaining information on potential and existing employees using background
checks

D.
A step in the computer forensic process

Explanation:

The key words are legal proceedings and trial practice. Information and property obtained in the
investigation by law enforcement officials must be turned over to the defense. For some information
that is proprietary to an organization, restrictions can be placed on who has access to the data. The
other answers are forms of the investigative process. During an investigation, answers “The process
undertaken by the investigators to acquire evidence needed for prosecution of a case” and “A step in
the computer forensic process” are appropriate definitions of discovery.
