The correct option is A.
Cloning involves the exact reproduction of a living organism; it is the process of generating a genetically identical copy of an organism. Cloning can be natural or artificial. Natural cloning occur in unicellular organisms which divide into two during asexual reproduction. Artificial cloning involves the use of genes to produce another organism. The genes used comes from a single individual.
