Solution
The correct option is A Indication
'Trace' means a mark, object, or other indication of the existence or passing of something.
"remove all traces of the old adhesive"
In this context, "There was no trace of poison in the coffee the chemist analysed, which disappointed the police", 'trace' means sign or indication. Hence, option A is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
