Correct Answer

Explanation

Forensic entomology is the study of insects and their life cycles as they relate to legal investigations. Forensic entomologists analyze insect activity on corpses, insect infestation patterns, and the estimation of postmortem interval (time since death). By studying insect evidence, they can provide valuable information about the time and circumstances surrounding a person's death.
