Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

An inquest is an inquiry into the cause and circumstances of death. A post-mortem is the examination of the body after death and may provide evidence for that inquiry, but it is a different procedure. Ante-mortem means before death, so it does not name the inquiry asked for.
