Correct answer: C
DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence called as repetitive DNA.
The basis of DNA fingerprinting is VNTR (a satellite DNA as probe that show very high degree of polymorphism)
Polymorphism is the variation at genetic level. Allelic sequence variation has traditionally been described as a DNA polymorphism.
