Answer: C
AFIS is a computerized system for storing and retrieving fingerprint records.
The Automated Fingerprint Identification System converts fingerprint images into digital records of their minutiae (ridge endings, bifurcations and their positions and directions). A print from a scene or a new arrest is searched against the database, and the system returns a ranked list of candidate matches, which an examiner then compares and confirms by eye.
AFIS does not estimate the age of a latent print, which no routine method does reliably. Tracking evidence through the chain of custody is done by laboratory information management systems, and hair is examined by microscopy, not by AFIS.
