Correct answer: C

∙\bullet∙ DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence called as repetitive DNA.

∙\bullet∙ The basis of DNA fingerprinting is VNTR (a satellite DNA as probe that show very high degree of polymorphism)

∙\bullet∙ Polymorphism is the variation at genetic level. Allelic sequence variation has traditionally been described as a DNA polymorphism.
