Solution

The correct option is C Molecular analysis of profiles of DNA samples.

DNA fingerprinting refers to the molecular analysis of the profile of DNA samples, short nucleotide repeats are important for DNA finger printing which vary in number from person to person but are inherited. These are variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) and can be recognized only through molecular analysis of DNA simples. Allec Jafferys (1985) discovered this technique for the first time in England.
