Solution

The correct option is B The clone is genetically identical to their parents.
A clone is an organism or cell produced asexually from an organism and hence, they are genetically identical to their parent organism or cell. A cloned animal or plant can also be produced artificially, i.e., in a laboratory, from the cells of another animal or plant. Dolly sheep is an example of baby produced by the process of cloning.
