Name the two options of evidence search?

• A. Retrieve, Active
• B. Passive Only
• C. Retrieve Only
• D. Retrieve, Passive

Answer: (D)

In evidence search, there are two recognized ways a dog can handle the find: actively retrieving the item to the handler, or passively indicating the location without taking the item. The best answer lists both because both modalities are used in practice depending on the situation. Retrieval is useful when you need the item for documentation and evidence handling, while a passive indication preserves the item at its source and can be safer or more appropriate when moving the item isn’t desirable. The other options omit one of these essential approaches, making them incomplete descriptions of how evidence search can be conducted.
