Solution

The correct option is B DNA fingerprinting
DNA fingerprinting is a technique which is mainly used to compare a biological evidence with a DNA sample. It is very useful in solving disputed parentage cases and forensic cases. It works by extracting and identifying the base-pair pattern of a DNA with the sample DNA. The DNA is extracted from the sample of the suspect. It is digested with restriction enzymes sequenced using gel electrophoresis.
