Answer:
Option C. weather conditions
Explanation:
Insects are organisms that can be used to determine the time of death of a corpse.
The use of insects to determine the time of death is a study called Forensic Entomology.
An example of an insect found around a corpse is the blowfly. It is one of the first organisms that is observed around a fresh corpse because it is present within first few minutes of death.
One of the factors or conditions that can hinder or prevents the accurate determination of time of death as well as insect life is weather conditions.
A cold weather condition has been observed to slow down the development of insects on the corpse.
Very harsh and dry weather conditions has been observed to hinder the life and prevent the development of insects on the corpses because these dry weather conditions dry out all the moisture from the corpse making it very difficult for the insects to thrive on the corpse.
Moist and warm weather conditions have been observed to favour the growth of these organisms on the corpse.
