Final answer:

Both Bayesian methods and Bootstrapping methods incorporate information about variation in mutation rates among loci in reconstructing phylogenies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The method(s) for reconstructing phylogenies that incorporate information about variation in mutation rates among loci are Both b and c (Bayesian methods and Bootstrapping methods).

Both Bayesian methods and Bootstrapping methods take into account the variation in mutation rates among loci. Bayesian methods use prior probabilities and statistical models to estimate phylogenetic relationships, while Bootstrapping methods generate multiple datasets by resampling the original data to assess the robustness of the phylogenetic tree.
