Selected Answer: B
If the chain of custody is broken, it primarily impacts the admissibility of the evidence in court. The evidence could be deemed inadmissible because the continuity and integrity of its handling cannot be assured. This could significantly affect the outcome of a legal case, as vital evidence may be excluded from consideration. Therefore, maintaining an unbroken chain of custody is crucial for ensuring that evidence can be reliably used in legal proceedings.
