Leads/clues/traces

If someone asks: "What direction do you think they might have taken?"


Would it correct to say:


a) "I don't know. I have no leads of it."


b) "I don't know. I have no clues of it."


c) "I don't know. I have no traces of it."




2. In the case that the three choices are correct, which one is the most natural?

  • None of them is correct.
  • "I have no clue", without "of it", is natural but quite casual.
