• A. Autopsy
• B. Toxicology
• C. DNA Analysis
• D. X-rays

Answer: (D)

Postmortem imaging with X-rays provides a broad survey of the whole body, including clothing and any debris nearby, to identify foreign objects such as bullets, metal fragments, or other evidence that could affect the investigation. This noninvasive step preserves evidence while quickly revealing items that might be hidden by clothing. Autopsy involves the internal examination after removing clothing and tissues, which is essential for detailed analysis but not the imaging method described. Toxicology analyzes chemicals in bodily fluids or tissues, not physical objects, and DNA analysis looks for genetic material rather than exterior or embedded items.
