Solution

The correct option is E DNA fingerprinting
DNA fingerprinting (also called as DNA profiling, DNA typing or genetic fingerprinting) can be used to determine the relationship between individuals (e.g., paternity testing). It is now a major resource that is used routinely in the detection and conviction of criminals and produces hundreds of matches to DNA found at crime scenes every week. The analysis of short tandem repeats (STRs) forms the basis of forensic DNA profiling systems used throughout the world.
