The answer is the second one: latent fingerprints.

Explanation for each option:

  • Plastic fingerprints: These are three-dimensional impressions left on soft materials like wax or clay. They are not typically associated with being dusted or lifted from surfaces.

  • Latent fingerprints: These are invisible prints left by the natural oils and sweat on the skin. They can be found on glossy or light-colored surfaces and are often dusted or lifted for analysis, making this the correct answer.

  • Visible fingerprints: These are prints made when fingers are stained with a substance like ink or blood, making them visible without additional processing. They do not need to be dusted or lifted.

  • Liquid fingerprints: This is not a recognized category of fingerprints in forensic science.

In summary, latent fingerprints are the type that can be dusted or lifted from surfaces.
