Apparently, the question missed the options and I had to look for it. Here is my answer:

This is a question related to the " The Mysterious Origin of Corn". In this study, Dr. Doebley, along with his team, compared the number of Teosinte varieties to that of the DNA sequence of Maize all over Mexico. Based on their research, their analysis revealed that the maize is closely connected to the variety of teosinte in the Balsas Region of Mexico. This answer is taken from the original options along with this question.

Answer:

The analysis revealed that maize is more genetically related to a specific variety of teosinte in the Balsas region in Mexico. With that, it was possible to conclude that this corn originated from a variety of teosinte that existed about 9,000 years ago.

Explanation:

Dr. Doebley established a scientific experiment to compare corn DNA sequences with DNA sequences from teosinte varieties in Mexico and establish whether some species of corn and teosinte had any kind of genetic base relationship that would approve any ancestry between these two species of plants.

After many comparisons, it was possible to conclude that corn was genetically related to one of the varieties of teosinte in Mexico, meaning that the corn probably originated from a variety of teosinte that existed about 9,000 years ago.
