Answer:

The answer is "C"  compare a small number of short sequences of DNA that are often the same between the father and the child’s genomes.

Explanation:

Comparing a single marker DNA could be misleading as there are millions of base pairs. Comparing all of them is quite time-consuming and impractical. So the best option is to compare a small number of short sequences of DNA that are often the same between the father and the child’s genomes. that are known to vary among individuals a great deal, and look for a match.
