Explanation / Answer

B. gene expression.

A microarray is a slide or chip with short segments of DNA attached to it that are representative of all genes in an organism's genome. Fluorescently labeled cDNA from normal and diseased tissues can be hybridized to the microarray to determine the  gene expression in the diseased tissue relative to the normal tissue.
