Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

For DNA fingerprinting special single-stranded DNA, probes are made in the laboratory. DNA probes contain repeated sequences of bases complementary to those on VNTRs. These probes are made radioactive by labeling with radioactive isotopes. This step helps in detecting DNA fingerprints or a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs).
