Option C. EnCase is the best answer because the question is about a forensic investigation of an MSSQL server where Lisa needs to collect and examine evidence files in a defensible manner. CHFI v11 explicitly includes SQL Server Logs , Investigating SQL Injection , and broad use of forensic tools for acquisition and examination of digital evidence.

Among the choices, EnCase is the forensic suite most appropriate for evidence collection, preservation, and detailed analysis . It supports imaging, examination, and evidentiary workflow, which are central to determining attack origin in a legally sound way. Sqlmap and SQLsus are offensive or testing-oriented tools associated with SQL injection activity, not primary forensic evidence examination platforms. Nessus is a vulnerability scanner, useful for assessment but not the best answer for collecting and analyzing MSSQL evidence after a breach.

Because the scenario centers on forensic examination of compromised database-server evidence, the strongest CHFI-aligned answer is EnCase , not exploit or scanning tools. It best supports evidence preservation, analysis, and reporting in a large-scale SQL-injection investigation.
