Solution

The correct option is D Identical individuals by asexual reproduction

Organism cloning (also called reproductive cloning) refers to the procedure of creating a new multicellular organism, genetically identical to another. In essence this form of cloning is an asexual method of reproduction, where fertilization or inter-gamete contact does not take place. It is defined as the process of producing genetically identical individuals of an organism either natural or artificially. The term clone was coined by Herbert J.Webber. Clones have identical DNA.

So,the correct option is 'D'.
