Solution

The correct options are
B Neck
C Jaw
Rigor mortis is the scientific term for the third stage of death identified by rigidity in the muscles. It is majorly caused by chemical changes in the muscles post-mortem, which induce stiffness in limbs of the corpse. In humans, rigor mortis usually occurs around 4 hours post-mortem. It is first observed in eyelids, neck, and jaw.
So, the correct answer is 'Neck and Jaw'.
