Complete stiffness of body usually occurs in 6-8hrs before receding in approximately the same sequence in which the stiffness occurred. They also stated that external factors produce marked changes in the onset and duration of rigor mortis like cold will delay the rigor while heat will hasten the rigor. Hope this helps?

Answer:

'Death' should be an option but I'm gonna go with either full or complete.

Step-by-step explanation:

Once a person has passed on, the muscles in their body instantly become soft and flaccid. The body then begins to go through the stages of death, with the third stage being rigor mortis. In this state, the muscles become firm and rigid.
