What is considered Trace Evidence?

Electronic records
Fingerprints or footprints, hair or fiber from a piece of clothing
Witness testimonies
Written documents

The correct answer is: Fingerprints or footprints, hair or fiber from a piece of clothing

Trace evidence refers to physical evidence that is left behind at a crime scene, typically in small amounts. This evidence can help to establish a link between a suspect and a crime. Options A, C, and D do not fit into the definition of trace evidence as they are not physical evidence found at a crime scene. Electronic records are considered digital evidence, witness testimonies are oral evidence, and written documents are documentary evidence. Thus, they are incorrect options. Option B, on the other hand, includes physical evidence such as fingerprints, footprints, hair, or fibers that can serve as trace evidence. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
