Solution

The correct option is A Jeffreys et al
Discovering their high level of variability, Sir Alec Jeffreys developed DNA fingerprinting based on minisatellites, solving the first immigration case by DNA in 1985, and the first forensic murder case, the Enderby murders in the United Kingdom, in 1986.
So, the correct answer is 'Jeffreys et al.'
