Answer:

C, their genetic makeup

Explanation:

Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg and because of this, they share identical genetic profile.

It means that they develop similar physical and mental traits even if separated at birth and raised and educated in a totally different manner or environment.

The separated twins share their DNA and their genetic makeup is responsible for their similarities. They may share similar or exactly the same personality traits, interests and preferences. Without knowing of each others' existence, they may chose the same professions or occupation and have the same preferences in choosing their life partners.
