The techniques that help in the solution of the crime. Consists of fingerprints, serology, ballistics, and DNA analysis is __________

• A. Instrumentation or Forensic Science
• B. Forensic Science
• C. Evidence Analysis
• D. Instrumentation

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying the field that uses scientific methods to analyze evidence in order to solve crimes. Fingerprints, serology, ballistics, and DNA analysis are classic components of forensic science—the practice of applying scientific techniques to collect, preserve, and interpret physical evidence to establish facts in a criminal investigation. Instrumentation refers to the tools used in analysis and is not the name of the field itself, while evidence analysis describes the process of examining evidence but doesn’t name the overall discipline. So the best fit is the term that designates the entire science of solving crimes through scientific analysis: forensic science.
