Answer:

The correct answer is : Yes, fingerprints can be lifted from human skin.

Step-by-step explanation:

In criminal cases, interaction between the suspect and the victim is likely to happen. Though, most methods to visualize fingerprints on human skin are not helpful. Common techniques used are alternative light sources, iodine or silver transfer, cyanoacrylate or using special inkpads. In the last case, the inkpad then is pressed against the object of the study to reveal the inked printed.

According to researches carried out, the main problem lays in the fingerprints disappearing from the victim's skin in a short period of time.
