Solution

The correct option is D uses hybridization to detect specific DNA restriction fragments in genomic DNA
In molecular biology, restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences.
So, the correct option is 'uses hybridization to detect specific DNA restriction fragments in genomic DNA'.
