C. Pieces of hair found at the crime scene.

Explanation:

Pieces of hair found at the crime scene is more useful to find the criminal who committed the crime, because it helps in indetifying criminal's DNA through the process of DNA fingerprinting. The hair is analyzed by the chemical makeup of the hair and extracting DNA from the hair follicle, pieces of hair must have hair follicle attached to find DNA of the criminal.  

Nuclear DNA can be successfully extracted from the hair root. Cut hair samples are useless without hair follicle attached. Its DNA will be useful only few months for testing. The DNA last in hairs about 1,000 to 10,000 years.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is
