D) 13

Explanation:

DNA profiling which is also called DNA fingerprinting, is the process of evaluating a person's DNA characteristics. With a DNA analysis, a species can be identified. This is called DNA barcoding. DNA profiling is a forensic ability used in criminal investigations when comparing criminal suspects' profiles to DNA evidence to assess the possibilities of their involvement in that crime. DNA profiling is also important in parentage determination, to know one's immigration eligibility and in medical research. DNA profiling is also used in plant and animal study. A standaed DNA profile has 13 STR loci which vary from person to person.
