Answer:

The correct answer is "high".

Step-by-step explanation:

Taphonomy is the science that studies how organic matter decays and becomes fossilized. Forensic taphonomy is used to estimate the characteristics of a person's death, with tests with levels of certainty depending on multiple factors. If a sample has a short PMI (Postmortem Interval), warm and humid conditions, the degree of certainty is probably high because the conditions are ideal to preserve an organic sample.
