Solution

The correct option is C Pedigree analysis
Genetic counseling is the process of advising individuals and families affected by or at risk of genetic disorders to help them understand and adapt to the medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. Pedigrees are used by genetic counselors to help families determine the risk of genetic disease and are used by research scientists in determining how traits are inherited.

So, the correct answer is 'Pedigree analysis'.
