The correct answer is: absence of reflexes.Explanation: Clinical death, also known as brain death, is a legal and medical determination of death that occurs when a person has lost all brain activity, including the brainstem. The criteria for pronouncing clinical death include the absence of responses to the environment, absence of eye movement, and absence of electrical activity in the brain. Reflexes are not considered a criterion for pronouncing clinical death.
