If VNTR fingerprinting is use, it finds differences based on the number of tandom repeats. The only time this will not work is when someone has the same DNA as you because they will have the same number of tandom repeats in the region . . .

Identical twins have the same D.N.A. characteristics
so the answer is 1.
