Ted Bundy, an American serial killer, was convicted on the basis of which type of forensic evidence ?
Answer: C
Ted Bundy was convicted on bite mark evidence.
At his 1979 trial in Florida for the murders at the Chi Omega sorority house, the key physical evidence was a bite mark on the body of Lisa Levy. Forensic odontologists matched it to casts of Bundy's distinctive, uneven teeth, and the testimony was decisive in his conviction. The case is a landmark in the history of forensic odontology.
Bundy's convictions did not rest on latent fingerprints or blood evidence, and DNA profiling was not yet in forensic use in 1979.
