Answer 1

B. A fingerprint is an impression of the ridges and lines on any part of a human hand, and every individual’s fingerprints are unique.

Step-by-step explanation:

both books are using the subject of fingerprints. in "what makes a fingerprint" they would very likely put a definition in the book. in "how police use fingerprints" they would also use a definition for an introductory chapter or paragraph.

Answer 2

I think it's B
