Correct Answer � C Explanation

C i.e. Absence of erythema & cellular change

One major difference between an antemortem and a postmortem injury is the presence of signs of bleeding.

While the person is still alive, the blood is circulating and any injuries such as cuts or stabs will bleed. After death, the body usually does not bleed.
