The correct answer is: a bloodstain created solely by the force of gravity acting on blood.<br /><br />A passive bloodstain is a bloodstain that is created solely by the force of gravity acting on the blood. This type of bloodstain is not caused by any external force or impact, but rather by the natural force of gravity pulling the blood down. Passive bloodstains can take on various shapes and sizes, depending on the surface the blood is on and the angle at which it is falling. They can be drops, pools, or even smears.
