Answer: 4. Both genetic mapping and DNA finger printing

DNA polymorphism means variation in DNA sequence between individuals.

It is the basis of genetic mapping, since polymorphic markers are tracked through families, and of DNA fingerprinting, since each person has a different pattern of variable repeats. Translation is protein synthesis and is not based on it. So both genetic mapping and fingerprinting is correct.
