This an excellent question.
not only can you learn about HD but most important the diagnostic tools to be used.
Southern Blot uses DNA as in main study.
Northern Blot uses RNA for it studies
ELISA used to indentify antigen
Western Blot uses protein for it studies
Now that was a cool review for me thanks for the question

A is the correct ans.
"A southern blot is used to detect DNA by DNA-DNA hybridization. A Southern blot of the son s DNA, probed with radiolabeled pieces of DNA specific for the mutant segment would show the presence of the mutation if the child inherited the trinucletide repeat from his father."
