Solution
The correct option is D VNTR
Alec Jeffreys discovered that repetitive patterns of DNA, known as Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTRs), were present in all human beings, but they varied in length for each individual. This variation could be used to establish the identity of a person and he named his technique as genetic fingerprinting. He demonstrated that a genetic fingerprint is specific to each individual.
