Answer:

The correct option is D: recombination frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

The recombination mapping technique makes it possible to measure the distance between the DNA marker and the locus where the mutation lies. For better accuracy at measuring this distance, multiple families have to be studied - families that are affected by the mutation of interest.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
