Chain of custody means :

  • A.Continuity of possession
  • B.Custody of accused
  • C.Sampling process
  • D.Presenting matter to the court

Answer: A

Chain of custody means continuity of possession.

The chain of custody is the documented record of everyone who has handled an item of evidence, from its collection at the scene through transport, storage and laboratory analysis to its production in court, with dates, times and the purpose of each transfer. An unbroken chain shows that the exhibit examined and produced is the one collected and that it was not tampered with or contaminated.

It is not about custody of the accused, the method of sampling, or the act of presenting matter to the court, although a broken chain can make evidence inadmissible there.
