B,D Correct answer
Explanation

Google invested in 23andMe through Google Ventures (now GV), and Sergey Brin was married to 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki. 23andMe was never Google's biotechnology arm, nor was it spun off from Google.

AI explanation

Google's connection to 23andMe is twofold. First, Google made an early investment in 23andMe (2007), when it was a startup — venture funding from Google's investment arm. Second, 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki was married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin at the time, giving Google leadership a personal tie to the company. 23andMe was never a Google subsidiary or internal biotech division, so "Google's Biotechnology arm" is false, and Google never owned/spun off 23andMe (it was independently founded by Wojcicki, Linda Avey, and Paul Cusenza), so the "spun off" option is also false. The two correct facts — investment and the Brin/Wojcicki marriage — are properly marked.
