The principle of in-solution hybridization is

A) the hybridization between a labeled probe and target nucleic acids in a liquid solution in tubes or in microtiter wells.
B) the hybridization between an immobilized labeled probe and target nucleic acids in a liquid solution in tubes or in microtiter wells.
