The phrase "He dusted for fingerprints" means that the detective used a dusting method to search for and reveal fingerprints left behind at the crime scene. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Option A is not the correct answer because it suggests cleaning the crime scene, which is the opposite of what the detective was doing.

Option C is not the correct answer because it implies ignoring the fingerprints, which is not the case.

Option D is not the correct answer because it introduces the idea of collecting dust, which is not the intended meaning of the phrase.
