The text suggests that, from a genetic point of view, the concept of race is:
A) very important, since there are many genes in the human genome that determine specific race-related traits (such as hair color and eyelid shape)
B) largely meaningless, and a better way of thinking about race differences is to consider them as cultural or ethnic differences
C) very important, since in humans there are only a handful of genes that code for "race" in our DNA (each corresponding to a difference racial group)
D) of some importance, since genes that code for racial characteristics also code for intelligence

Question

The concept of race is often used to categorize people into groups but this categorization becomes largely meaningless when considered from a genetic reference point. Although genes do control the development of characteristics frequently associated with race (e.g., skin color, eye shape, hair color and texture), these traits do not occur as "either-or" features; rather, they are distributed continuously throughout the human population.
