Solution

The correct option is B Clones
Clones are genetically identical to each other and their parents as they are produced from a single parent, with no modification of their genetic material. Therefore they have exact copies of the genome.
Whereas twins have nearly the same genetic makeup as each other, but they are genetically different from either parent.
