Solution

The correct option is E Suggest the value perceived in a person who might be selected for cloning
"Why else then would they clone from the star basketball player, mathematician, and beauty queen or even dear old dad in the first place?" - this statement indicates that cloning is done keeping in mind that the cloned version will have at least some attributes of the original. If this hadn't been so then why would they clone from star basket ball players, mathematician or beauty queen- there is some value in all them individually which is why they might be selected for cloning. In this context, E is the best answer.
