What does embalming define?

What does embalming define?

• A. Embalming
• B. Decomposition
• C. Art of Embalming
• D. Science of Embalming

Answer: (A)

Embalming defines the process of preserving a dead body to slow decomposition and improve its appearance for viewing. The term itself names the practice, so the best choice is Embalming because it identifies what is being done—the preservation process. Decomposition is what embalming aims to delay, not the definition of the term. The Art of Embalming and the Science of Embalming describe aspects of the practice, but they are not the definition of the term itself.
