Solution

The correct option is B sequence all the DNA base pairs in the genome
Genome is an organism's complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. The genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. Each organism has different numbers of genes according to their physiological needs.
The main goals of the Human Genome Project were to provide a complete and accurate sequence of the 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome and to find all of the estimated 20,000 to 25,000 human genes.
