Correct answer B

Section 194(1) requires the officer to report "the apparent cause of death", describing the wounds, fractures, bruises and other marks of injury found and stating "in what manner, or by what weapon or instrument (if any)" they appear to have been inflicted. It is a preliminary report of appearances; it does not fix guilt or settle disputed facts.
