second stage of decomposition in which the body becomes inflated due to the production of gases from bacteria
A
bloat
B
active decay
C
fresh
D
skeletonization / post decay
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The second stage begins when the body begins to swell and is called putrefaction or the bloated stage. Internal bacterial decomposition due to intestinal bacteria entering the rest of the body produces gases that inflate the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 2: Initial decay-0 to 3 days after death They eventually break out of the intestine and start digesting the surrounding internal organs. The body’s own digestive enzymes (normally in the intestine) also spread through the body, contributing to its decomposition.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the second stage of decomposition, the bloated stage, is when putrefaction begins. Gases that accumulate in the abdomen, therefore causing it to swell, give the body a bloated appearance.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two main ways the body decomposes: Autolysis and Putrefaction. Both of these processes take place by chemical reaction so both are subject to the typical kinetic controls of a chemical reaction. Autolysis is the process by which digestive enzymes within the body cells break down carbohydrates and proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bloat. In the second phase of decomposition, intestinal bacteria begin to enter the rest of the body, producing gases that cause it to inflate. Strong smells are also associated with this stage, which attract egg-laying flies such as blowflies.
