Solution

The correct answer is a. Precipitin test. This test is used to determine whether the blood is of human origin or not. It involves the reaction of an antigen with its specific antibody. In this case, the antigen is the blood and the antibody is the anti-human serum. If the blood is of human origin, it will react with the anti-human serum to form a precipitate.
