A. Since its formation during embryonic life
B. Till delivery of the child
C. Through out the life of an individual after birth
D. Only till 6 months of gestation

Answer 1

Step 1: Define the Henry Classification System. The Henry Classification System, created by Sir Edward Henry in the late 1800s and early 1900s, is a fingerprint classification and filing method.

Step 2: Determine its function. This system was a primary tool for law enforcement, enabling the organization of extensive collections of ten-print fingerprint cards for criminal records. It utilizes a numerical system based on whorl patterns found on each finger.

Step 3: Assess the scope. The system is specifically for fingerprint classification. It is not suitable for questioned documents, digital evidence, or poisons.

LIST-I	LIST-II
A. Ridges	III. The raised portion of the friction skin of the fingers
B. Type Lines	I. Two most inner ridges which start parallel, diverge and surround or tend to surround the pattern area
C. Delta	IV. The ridge characteristics nearest to the point of divergence of type lines
D. Enclosure	II. A single ridge bifurcates and reunites to enclose some space
