Which of the following most accurately describes data lifecycle management (DLM) ? It refers to the obligation to uphold data confidentiality imposed by federal law. It refers to the tools and processes for handling data during a research study and after it concludes. It refers to the data collection requirements of a particular organization. It refers to the obligation to share data imposed by professional journals.

I believe the answer is: It refers to the tools and processes for handling data during a research study and after it concludes.

Data life cycle management would provide a record of information flow from the acquirement, initial storage, until the time when the information becomes obsolete after done being used and deleted. DLM could be used by other researchers who want to test/review the validity of other researchers' work, to know why and how a certain data is used during the research.
