Answer:

The correct answer is option B, Lollia Paulina

Step-by-step explanation:

The dental impression have been used as a mode of solving criminal cases since Roman times. It was in the first century that emperor Claudius order to kill his mistress Lollia Paulina. She was beheaded. The emperor ordered to first kill the mistress and then check her teeth to ensure the right woman was killed. Claudius knew that lollia had discolored front tooth and thus the dead body was easily identified on the basis of tooth.
