C Correct answer
Explanation

Copying log files to CD-Rs or other Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) media is the preferred backup method because it prevents logs from being altered or deleted by attackers trying to hide their tracks. Printing on paper or copying to easily mutable local laptop drives does not offer the same security guarantees.
