Which of the following marks found on cartridge cases can be used to identify the make of the firearm?

The option indicating "lands" as a mark found on cartridge cases that can be used to identify the make of the firearm is correct because lands are the raised areas in the rifling of a barrel that come into contact with the bullet. When a bullet is fired, the lands impart specific markings onto the surface of the bullet due to the unique characteristics of each firearm's barrel. These markings can be analyzed to determine the specific make and model of the firearm that fired the cartridge.

In contrast, while striations (another possible answer) are unique scratches or marks created as the bullet travels down the barrel, they are often less consistent across different firearms, making them less reliable for identifying the make. Grooves, which are the recessed areas in the rifling, are not unique identifiers like lands; they assist in the bullet's spin but do not help determine the firearm's make on their own. Caliber refers to the diameter of the firearm's barrel and is a classification measure rather than a unique identifier. Each of these factors plays a role in ballistics, but lands are particularly significant in identifying the firearm based on the marks left on the bullet.
