Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

The detective begins his/her documentation of the crime scene by writing down the date, time, and location of the crime scene. this is always important to start the report with so that any who reads the notes know when and wher this all happened before reading about evidence other wise the reader could be confused and pass evidence off as faulty.
