A listed company's ERP logs show that a finance manager changed vendor bank details and then released a payment to the new account, and the change log was later deleted by a database administrator. Which governance feature would best have preserved evidence for later investigation?
Tamper-resistant audit trails, with log deletion rights restricted and monitored, would have preserved the evidence. They record who changed vendor details and released payment, and even administrators cannot erase them. Display size, bandwidth or font settings do nothing for evidence integrity or accountability.

Explanation
Audit trails that record who changed what and when, and that cannot be altered or deleted even by administrators, preserve evidence and support accountability. The other options have no effect on evidence integrity. Such logs also help produce electronic records admissible as evidence under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and evidence law.
