Solution

The correct option is A Molecular analysis of profiles of DNA
DNA fingerprinting is a technique for comparing the nucleotide sequences of fragments of DNA from different sources. The fragments are obtained by treating the DNA with various endonucleases, enzymes that break DNA strands at specific sites. It is a method used to identify multilocus DNA banding patterns that are specific to an individual by exposing a sample of the person's DNA to molecular probes and various analytical techniques such as southern blot analysis.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
