Eliminate B) The DNA mutation rates for both species was calculated and compared. C) Scientists made a detailed analysis of the fossilized bones of each species. D) The enzyme activity of each species was studied to determine similarities in metabolism.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Scientists made a detailed analysis of the fossilized bones of each species.

Explanation:

Scientists made a detailed analysis of the fossilized bones of each species. This detailed analysis of the fossilized bones provided scientists with direct physical evidence of the similarity of the two species.
