I think the system log might have some clues too, but metadata seems like the best option.

The metadata is where it's at. That's like the digital fingerprint of the document. I'd be surprised if this wasn't the correct answer.

Internet activity data? Really? That's about as useful as a chocolate teapot for this kind of task.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. The system log might give some clues about the file's creation and who was responsible.

The document's metadata seems like the obvious choice here. I can't imagine the other options would be very useful in determining who created a document.
