Answer 1

B. moles or marks on the body

Witchcraft was the period of panic and hysteria in the 17th century and often regarded as most captivating chapters of American history. In North America, young girls started having mysterious screaming fits and on diagnosis, it was revealed that the girls have been bewitched. This began the dramatic and strange search for witches. However, witch hunters started looking for devil marks or witch marks on suspected women bodies. Witch marks included the variety of skin lesions such as red, blue, brown lesions or many time unusual moles and outlines.
