individuals must personally decide how to use the information provided by dna testing.
people are captivated by what dna testing might reveal.

Explanation:

• For the claim “DNA testing can now help identify health - related risks for customers to act on,” the text “It is this testing result that caused actress Angelina Jolie, in a much discussed news report, to proactively have all of her breast tissue removed...” (paragraph 8) is relevant. Angelina Jolie's action of removing breast tissue based on a testing result shows how DNA testing can identify health risks (in this case, likely related to breast cancer risk) and lead to action.
• For the claim “Individuals must personally decide how to use the information provided by DNA testing,” the text “Plebuch decided she was very much part of her family and their ethnic and religious heritage, but she also reached out... to explore new family bonds.” (paragraph 11) is appropriate. Plebuch made a personal decision on how to use the information (in this case, related to family heritage) from DNA testing.
• For the claim “People are captivated by what DNA testing might reveal,” the text “Some consumer DNA databases are well over 10 million people strong.” (paragraph 2) is a good fit. The large number of people in consumer DNA databases implies that many people are interested (captivated) by what DNA testing can show (such as ancestry, health risks etc.).

Answer:

• DNA testing can now help identify health - related risks for customers to act on: “It is this testing result that caused actress Angelina Jolie, in a much discussed news report, to proactively have all of her breast tissue removed...” (paragraph 8)
• Individuals must personally decide how to use the information provided by DNA testing: “Plebuch decided she was very much part of her family and their ethnic and religious heritage, but she also reached out... to explore new family bonds.” (paragraph 11)
