stage in decomposition that begins at the moment of death
A
bloat
B
active decay
C
fresh
D
skeletonization / post decay
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first stage of human decomposition is called autolysis, or self-digestion, and begins immediately after death. As soon as blood circulation and respiration stop, the body has no way of getting oxygen or removing wastes.

Detailed explanation-2: -STAGE 1: Self-Digestion (aka, the fresh stage) Stage one of human decomposition begins with the self-digestion stage, or the cell autolysis stage. During this stage, the absence of oxygenated blood flow causes muscle tissues to become rigid, a condition known as rigor mortis, which can last one to four days.

Detailed explanation-3: -A corpse generally progresses through five stages of decomposition-fresh, bloat (autolysis), active decay (putrefaction), advanced decay and skeletonisation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposition is a natural process that occurs after death and happens in four stages: autolysis, bloat, active decay, and skeletonization. Each stage is characterized by specific changes in the body, including the release of gases and fluids, skin discoloration, and stiffness of muscles.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
