Because of our laws concerning habeas

by saxenankit Mon Feb 21, 2011 3:25 am

Because of our laws concerning habeas corpus, prosecutors will rarely move forward with a murder prosecution should there be no body as evidence that a murder took place.
A. should there be no body as evidence
B. without a body as evidence
C. unless there may be a body to show
D. without having found a body for evidence
E. lacking the possession of a body for
evidence

OA : B
Source: McGraw Hill
My Doubt: Why is C incorrect ?

Thanks Tim. I guess 'may' is wrong because of the uncertainty. Could you please confirm ?
