Which type of evidence serves to substantiate the distinct set of elements whose commission or omission must be demonstrated to have occurred in order to prove a criminal offense?

If these were the missing choices:

A) Crime scene documentation.

B) Associative evidence.

C) The rule of detail.

D) Corpus delicti evidence.

My answer is D. Corpus delicti evidence.

Corpus delicti evidence is the type of evidence that serves to substantiate the set of elements whose omission or commission must be demonstrated to have occurred in order to prove a criminal offense.

Corpus delicti is in Latin. It refers to the body of an offense. One can't be convicted of a crime is there is no physical evidence of a crime.
