Question

Identify the correct fingerprint patterns as given by S. Edward Henry:
A. Arch
B. Spiral
C. Loop
D. Circular
E. Whorl
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B & C Only
• B. B, C & E Only
• C. A, C & E Only
• D. B, C & D Only

Hint:

Remember the Henry System through the primary trio: Arch, Loop, and Whorl.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The Henry Classification System is a method by which fingerprints are sorted by physiological characteristics.

Step 1: Identifying Henry's patterns.
Sir Edward Henry identified several primary patterns used for classification: Arches (A), Loops (C), and Whorls (E).

Step 2: Filtering incorrect options.
"Spiral" and "Circular" are not the standard primary classifications used in the Henry system for fingerprint identification. Therefore, only A, C, and E are correct.
