Explanation:

ALCOA guidelines (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate) state that data should be attributable. In clinical trials, data should be attributable to specific study participants (to track individual data). Option A is wrong as original documents should be kept. Option B is wrong as corrections need explanations. Option D is wrong as data is attributable to participants, not researchers for clinical trial data in ALCOA context.

Answer:

C. Any recorded data should be attributable to a specific study participant.
