The step at which the researchers would do at the end of researching Edna is to amplify the amount of DNA.

Option (d);

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The term EDNA means Environmental DNA.
  • Invasive species in the waterway are the waterborne plants and animals who can likely cause effects to the human as well as the environment.
  • If researchers want to use eDNA to look for invasive species in the waterway, they will first collect a sample.
  • After cutting DNA into pieces, DNA would be precipitated in each sample.
  • And in the end, the amount of DNA would be amplified in each sample to understand how it would cause harm to the environment.
