Explanation:

• Question 5: An autopsy is the medical dissection and examination of a body to determine the cause of death. Post - mortem examination is a broader term that can include an autopsy but is not as specific. Exhumation is the act of digging up a buried body. Saponification is a chemical process related to the formation of soap.
• Question 6: In chemical analysis of questioned documents, the document examiner (not just a forensic chemist) has the authority (with proper consent) to use various means. Option b is incorrect as it wrongly restricts the role to only a forensic chemist after consent.
• Question 7: Metallurgy is the art of extracting and working on metals using chemical and physical knowledge. Cryptography is about encoding and decoding information. Casting is a process in metallurgy but not the overall art. "Meta" is too general.
• Question 8: In blood grouping, if both anti - serum A and anti - serum B react (clump) with the sample blood, it means the blood has both A and B antigens, which is characteristic of blood group AB. Group A reacts only with anti - serum A, group B reacts only with anti - serum B, and group O reacts with neither.

1. A. Autopsy
2. B. The document examiner must be cautious and allow only a forensic chemist to do the same after the consent of all parties in the case, including the court.
3. B. metallurgy
4. B. Group AB
