The age determination of handwritten document from handwriting :

  • A.is not possible if some de-capacitating illness affects
  • B.is not possible in all cases
  • C.can be estimated in writings of the adolescents
  • D.may become possible with future research

Answer: D

Age determination from handwriting may become possible with future research.

At present a writer's age cannot be reliably determined from handwriting. Handwriting matures through adolescence, stabilises in adult life and may deteriorate in old age, but these changes vary so much between individuals, and with education, practice and health, that no examiner can assign an age to a writing. The only defensible position is that reliable age estimation is not yet possible, though research on handwriting change may make it possible later.

The other options imply that age can be determined now in some circumstances: in the absence of illness, in some cases, or among adolescents. Each overstates what handwriting examination can do.
