What does the term 'CORPUS DELECTI' literally mean?

  1. The body of crime

  2. The body of evidence

  3. The crime scene

  4. The legal document

The correct answer is: The body of crime

'Corpus delicti' literally means "body of the crime," referring to the physical evidence or proof that a crime has been committed. This term does not mean "body of evidence," which may include testimonies or other types of evidence. It also does not mean "crime scene," which is the physical location where a crime took place. Additionally, it does not mean "legal document," as this term pertains to the physical evidence in a criminal case.
