Option A

Explanation:

The goal of the human genome project is to provide a complete and precise sequence of the 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome and to find all of the various human genes. One of the benefits is in the field of molecular medicine. This includes better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.
