Which are two ways to destroy criminal records?

• A. Burn and shred
• B. Archive and copy
• C. Delete electronically
• D. Encrypt and store

Answer: (A)

Permanent destruction means making the record unrecoverable. For physical records, burning and shredding are two reliable, irreversible methods. Burning reduces material to ash, while shredding cuts it into unreadable pieces; together they ensure no usable form of the record remains. Other options don't achieve true destruction: archiving preserves the record for future reference, copying creates duplicates, deleting electronically only affects digital copies maybe, and encrypting and storing keeps the data but doesn’t actually destroy it. So burning and shredding best satisfy the goal of permanently destroying criminal records.
