Answer:

D) no likelihood

Step-by-step explanation:

Identical twins are monozygotic since they are formed from the same zygote. The zygote splits into two parts sometime during the pregnancy and results in formation of two embryos. Identical twins share genetic makeup and hence look alike. However the personality traits like attitude may or may not be same since it depends on surrounding environment and the way the child perceives it while growing up.
