Solution

The correct option is D PCR
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a piece of DNA to produce multiple copies of the same sequence. PCR can be used as a diagnostic tool, where a sample of DNA is analyzed for the presence of genetic disease due to mutations.
Thus, the correct answer is 'PCR'.
