Correct C) Brain plasticity

Brain plasticity is defined as the ability of the brain to change by generating or reorganizing  new neural pathways. It is also known as neuroplasticity.

It is the ability of the brain to re-write itself.  Without this any brain, not only human brain  would be unable to recover from brain injury or able to develop infancy to adulthood.

There are two types of neuroplasticity:

1). Functional Plasticity: It involves ability of the brain to move its function from damaged area to undamaged area of the brain.

2). Structural plasticity: It is the ability of the brain to change its structure as a result of learning.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
