A
Serum
B
Erythrocytes
C
Leucocytes
D
Platelets
Solution
$DNA$ fingerprinting is a technique to identify a person on the basis of person's $DNA$ specificity. The technique is based upon the fact that the $DNA$ constitution of an individual carries some specific sequence of nucleotides, which do not carry any information for protein synthesis.
From the given options, leucocytes are to be used for identifying the criminal because they are nucleated, whereas erythrocytes are enucleated.
