Explanation:

DNA and fingerprints are both used for individual identification because each person has a distinct, non-matching set of either. Option A describes only DNA's structure, option B describes DNA's cellular location, and option C describes DNA's role in trait expression, none of which apply to fingerprints. Only option D is a shared characteristic.

Answer:

D. Both are unique to each individual.
