Answer

B

Explanation

Genome mapping involves the study and mapping of an organism's genes. Among the given options, the occupation most closely related to genome mapping is B. Geneticist. A geneticist specializes in the field of genetics, which includes the study of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. Genomic mapping is a key aspect of genetic research and is essential for understanding the structure and function of genes within an organism. On the other hand, A. Gerontologist focuses on the study of aging, which is unrelated to genome mapping. C. Geophysicist deals with the physical properties and processes of the Earth, and D. Geologist is concerned with the study of the Earth's structure and composition. Neither of these occupations is directly associated with genome mapping. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is B. Geneticist.
