Correct Answer

Explanation

Trace evidence refers to small, microscopic materials found at a crime scene, such as fibers, hair, paint chips, glass fragments, soil, or other minute particles. Forensic scientists analyze these trace materials to establish associations between individuals, objects, and locations. Trace evidence can provide valuable information in linking a suspect to a crime scene or victim.
