This question aligns with CHFI v11 objectives underOperating System Forensics, specificallyWindows Security Event Log analysis and object access auditing. In Windows systems,Event ID 4663is generated whenan attempt is made to access an object(such as a file, folder, registry key, or other securable object) and detailed auditing is enabled. CHFI v11 emphasizes the importance of this event in identifying unauthorized or suspicious access attempts to sensitive system resources.

Event ID 4663 provides granular information aboutthe type of access requested, such as read, write, modify, delete, or permission changes. This makes it particularly valuable in forensic investigations, as it allows investigators to determine whether a user or process attempted to modify critical system objects, which is often indicative of malicious activity, privilege abuse, or insider threats.

While deletion events are logged separately (e.g., Event ID 4660), and general logon activity is captured by different event IDs (such as 4624), Event ID 4663 focuses specifically onobject access attempts. Option C is partially descriptive but too broad; the defining characteristic of Event ID 4663 is theattempt to open an object with specific access rights, making optionAthe most precise and CHFI v11–aligned answer.
