"Forensic entomologists study what to help solve crimes?"

Choices below:
- Teeth.
- Bones.
- Flies.
- Chemicals.

Additional comment: I looked this up prior to posting this. On Wiki, it states that Forensic entomologists study the insects within a crime scene. Alas, I have seen people on here say the correct answer is either Bones or Teeth. I personally think it is Flies, since they are insects. But I could be incorrect. Just need some other opinions. Thanks in advance! :D

Answer: Flies

Step-by-step explanation:

Forensic entomology is the sub discipline of forensic science which use the insects and their life cycle to relate them with the decaying dead body. Insects found near the unknown dead body can be useful in establishing place of death, time since death, manner of death (poison or drug/alcohol toxicity).

On the basis of the above description, flies is the correct option because they are insects.
