Dolly was a female domestic sheep, and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. One Finn Dorset (provided nucleus) and 2 Scottish blackface ewes, one provided egg, and another surrogate mother. So, three parents were involved.

So, the correct answer is option C.
