Answer is B. 5% to 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The DNA testing is a known test which is adopted to know whether the known parents are genuinely the parents of a particular child. This method is also used to know if a crime is being committed by the suspected individual.

Buccal smear is one of the methods or procedures that can be used during DNA testing. This involves the taken of cell samples from the inside surface of the cheek.

Samples for DNA testing can be taken from different parts of the body such as the blood, skin, hair and even amniotic fluid, this the fluid surrounding the fetus during pregnancy.
