Explanation:

First Question (Process of extracting and analyzing DNA)

• Gel Electrophoresis: Separates DNA fragments, not the full extraction and analysis process.
• Criminalistics: Is the application of scientific methods to criminal cases, which includes DNA extraction and analysis.
• CODIS: Is a DNA database system, not a process.
• DNA tracking: Not a standard term for the extraction and analysis process. So Criminalistics is the best fit.

• Alec Jeffreys: Developed DNA fingerprinting, not the first convicted based on it.
• Kirk Bloodsworth: Was exonerated using DNA, not convicted.
• Colin Pitchfork: Was the first person convicted using DNA testing.
• Ted Bundy: Convicted before DNA testing was widely used.

Answer:

B. Criminalistics
