Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
DNA profiling also called as DNA fingerprinting, DNA testing, genotyping or DNA typing is a forensic technique used to identify individuals by characteristics of their DNA. A DNA profile is a small set of DNA variations that is very likely to be different in all unrelated individuals, thereby being as unique to individuals as are fingerprints (hence, the alternate name for the technique).
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'
