Tache noire refers to :

  • A.Post-mortem staining
  • B.Flaccidity of eyeball
  • C.Black spots of sclera
  • D.Maggot growth

Answer: C

Tache noire refers to black spots on the sclera.

When the eyelids stay open after death, the exposed parts of the sclera on either side of the cornea dry out. Within a few hours they form brownish-black triangular or oval patches called tache noire (French for 'black spot'), a postmortem change that helps in estimating the time since death.

Post-mortem staining is livor mortis (hypostasis). Flaccidity of the eyeball follows the fall in intraocular tension after death, and maggot growth is a later sign of decomposition used in forensic entomology.
