• The term also refers to the production of multiple copies of a product such as digital media or software.

• There is a lot of ethical debate over whether or not cloning should be use.

• The term clone is used in horticulture to refer to decendants of a single plant which were produced by vegetative reproduction.

Answer explanation

Sekilas keempat statement tersebut memang berhubungan dengan 'Cloning'. Tetapi, pilihan ke-3 tidak cocok dengan topik sentence nya.

Kenapa?

Karena topic sentence tsb most likely ada di paragraf pertama alias di general classification. 3 supporting sentences yang lain semuanya masih focus sama 'term/definisi' dari cloning yang sudah pasti ada di awal paragraf.

Sedangkan supporting sentence yang ketiga, dia mmg masuk dalam konten cloning, tapi posisinya bukan di paragraf tersebut. Dia cocok di paragraf yang lain yang udah nyentuh masalah problematika cloning di masyarakat.
