The evidence (the hard disk) will be tampered if you cannot boot into the CMOS. Remove a hard disk first to prevent that happen.

Can someone explain why this wouldn't be D? As system time/date is considered volatile data, why would one remove a hard disk first before obtaining it?

Technically, CMOS is powered by a small battery. "Nonvolatile BIOS memory refers to a small memory on PC motherboards that is used to store BIOS settings. It is traditionally called CMOS RAM because it uses a volatile, low-power complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) SRAM (such as the Motorola MC146818 or similar) powered by a small "CMOS" battery when system and standby power is off."
