What is an autopsy?

  1. The examination of a crime scene

  2. The dissection of a dead human body, by an authorized doctor, to determine the cause of death

  3. A legal proceeding to determine mental competence

  4. The study of toxins and their antidotes

The correct answer is: The dissection of a dead human body, by an authorized doctor, to determine the cause of death

While an autopsy may involve examining evidence related to a crime scene, this is not the primary purpose. An autopsy is specifically the dissection of a dead human body, and it must be conducted by an authorized doctor. A legal proceeding to determine mental competence would involve evaluating a person's mental state, not examining a dead body. The study of toxins and their antidotes is a completely different field and not related to the purpose of an autopsy. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it accurately describes the process and purpose of an autopsy.
