Cloning is simply a process whereby the nucleus of an egg is removed and replaced with the nucleus extracted from the body cell of the organism to be cloned, to form an embryo. This embryo is then transferred into a uterus for development and birth. Basically, it is the transplant of nucleus from a cell of the organism to be cloned into an enucleated egg cell to fertilize it.
Now sir, D is wrong because, even though cloning is an as*xual multiplication, it occurs at the cellular level, not the tissue level.
The answer should be C. The clone is similar to the original organism but note entirely as the nuclear DNA is different from the DNA of the cytoplasm and the mitochondria in the egg cell. please revisit the answer chief.

Are u guys insinuating that cloning does not take place in human ?.The correct answer is B.Watched a lot movies about cloning of humans and it usually NEEDED only one cell from the individual which is to be cloned (duplication) to initial the process.The funny aspect is that it is viewed as non ethical and societal,though that will be for another time.
