All of them except B and D that clearly belong to Forensic anthropology

Explanation:

Forensic science is the application of science to criminal and civil laws. Antropology is the study of the relationship of human beings with their surrounding.

A is not forensic B is an almost perfect definition of etnographic field work of antropologists. Almost because talking to locals who were alive doesn't make sense.
