Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An incorrect rejection occurs when the witness fails to identify the perpetrator even though they are present in the line-up. In this scenario, Danitha cannot pick out the individual, which means she has made an incorrect rejection. A correct identification would require her to correctly identify the perpetrator, and a false identification would mean she incorrectly identified someone as the perpetrator when they were not actually the culprit.
