What is the name used for an official hearing to determine the cause of death of a human being?

Autopsy
Inquest
Interrogation
Examination

The correct answer is: Inquest

An inquest is a legal process in which a coroner or jury investigates the circumstances of a person's death. An autopsy is a medical examination of a body to determine the cause of death, but it is not an official hearing. Interrogation is the act of questioning someone, usually in a criminal investigation, and is not an appropriate term for a death investigation. Examination is a general term and does not specifically refer to a hearing or investigation related to death. Therefore, option B, inquest, is the most appropriate answer choice for the given question.
