    All of these choices are correct.

    Explanation:

    Transposons are the DNA sequences that can move from one location to another in the genome. The transposon genes are also known as jumping genes.

    The C value paradox of the transposable elements depends on the different factors. The transposons can increase their number by copy and paste mechanism. The genes can be controlled by the enzyme transposase and their copies may exist at the different site of the chromosome.

    Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
