Answer:

Option A, Francis Galton

Step-by-step explanation:

Francis Galton was the first person to propose the use of finger prints for identification purpose and proposed this concept in writing on a scientific basis and also laid the groundwork for their use in criminal cases.

He collected large number of finger prints (nearly 9000) from Anthropological laboratories and proved uniqueness of fingerprints through meaningful comparisons. He later proposed fingerprint classification system.

Hence, option A is correct.
