Ans:C. Cheiloscopy
Cheiloscopy
- It helps in identifying the humans based on the lips’ traces.
- Lip prints can be used as an identifying tool in forensic sciences as each individual’s lips have a specific pattern of fissures.
- Traces of lips should be looked for on cutlery and crockery items, on the window or door glass, on photographs or letters.
- Lip prints may also appear side by side with tooth marks on food products.
