Solution

The correct option is B

Inheritance


Inheritance is the process by which characters are passed on from parents to offspring. It is the basis of heredity.

Genetic inheritance occurs due to the presence of genetic material in the form of DNA, being passed from parents to their offspring. When organisms reproduce, all the information for growth, survival, and reproduction for the next generation is found in the DNA which is passed down from the parent generation.
