D. These projects require the analysis of large amounts of data, which humans cannot do as quickly as computers.

Modern technology, particularly in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology, enables researchers to analyze the vast quantities of data generated by projects like the Human Genome Project more efficiently and accurately than would be possible manually.
