(B) is the correct answer: to identify and sequence all the genes present in human $DNA$.The main aim of the Human Genome Project $(HGP)$ was to map and sequence the entire human genome.This involved identifying all the genes present in human $DNA$ and determining the complete nucleotide sequence of the $3 	imes 10^9$ base pairs that make up human $DNA$.The project did not focus on introducing new genes (gene therapy),developing forensic comparison techniques,or removing disease-causing genes as its primary objective.
