D Correct answer
Explanation

All three statements are true: (A) Plant genomics initially lagged behind animal/microorganism efforts due to larger genome sizes, (B) Researchers can use partial genomic information through ESTs, marker genes, and comparative genomics, and (C) Potato genome sequencing was an active research effort. Since all individual statements are correct, 'All of the above' is the right answer.
