Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: D) Nonexistent data are data that simply do not exist, either now or at any time. Some data are only maintained for a certain period of time. This may be years (for paper records) or only days/hours (for digital data). The analyst should consider whether the life of the data may be limited and, if so, take necessary actions to preserve it. Another possibility is that the data may exist, but not in a usable form for the intended analysis.
