Answer 2

Answer:

Option D (Alphonse Bertillon) is the correct response.

Explanation:

• He seems to have been a policeman turned biometrics expert from France. Forensic techniques such as forensic record analysis were developed by Bertillon.
• To retain proof, he always pioneered or developed the use of such galvanoplastic compounds as molds for footsteps as well as ballistics. To research physical changes with age, Bertillon has developed a method focused on images of almost the same person’s performance.
