A) near the hands and legs

B) near the nose and mouth

C) in the hair and clothes

D) on the extremities

Answer 1

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The decomposition is a continuous process that occurs in the body of a dead organism. This takes a time ranging from about a week to years. During this time, the blowfly larval development develops in the openings of the dead organisms. They lay down their eggs near and around the wounds and the opening such as the nose and mouth. These eats up the dead cells, and enhances the rate of decomposition.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
