Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three main groups of fingerprints that can be found at the scene of a crime are latent (not visible to the naked eye), patent (visible to the naked eye), and plastic (three-dimensional impressions, such as a fingerprint left in clay). Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A (sufficient and non-sufficient) and option C (good and bad) do not accurately describe the different types of fingerprints. Option D (identifiable and excluded) is not a commonly used categorization for fingerprints found at a crime scene.
