Which of the following agents typically do not cause a bite mark on the skin?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
- Fruits do not have the anatomical structures necessary to cause bite marks on the skin, such as teeth.
- In contrast, rodents, dogs, and insects possess teeth or mandibles capable of inflicting distinct bite marks or punctures.
- Therefore, only living agents with biting mechanisms can cause such injuries.
