D Correct answer
Explanation

Cyanoacrylate (superglue) fuming is used to develop latent fingerprints on non-porous, smooth surfaces by reacting with the moisture and organic residues left behind. These residues consist of a mixture of amino acids, fatty acids, and proteins, all of which are stabilized and made visible by the polymerization of the glue. Therefore, all of these trace elements are involved in the process.
