Question

Latent fingerprints can be developed by:

• A. Neutron Activation Analysis
• B. Casting
• C. Electrophoresis
• D. Iodine fuming

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Latent fingerprints, which are invisible to the naked eye, are made visible using methods like iodine fuming. This technique involves exposing the surface to iodine vapors, which react with oils and sweat residues in the fingerprint, creating a temporary visual impression. Neutron Activation Analysis and casting are unrelated to fingerprint development.
