The correct answer is; D

Homologous structures is the term used to describe physical similarities between related species that indicates a common ancestry.

Homologous structures are structures that have the same form or functions in different animals, indicating that the animals have evolved from a common ancestor. Homologous structures usually appear very similar in form but it may or may not have the same function in the different animals that are suggested to be related. The bones in the front limbs of many different mammals (such as humans, deer and bats) which are similar in their structure and arrangement are homologous structures.

The release of cfcs into the atmosphere may lead to several hundred thousand new cases of skin cancer each year and destroy many
ehidna [41]
<span>Depletion of the ozone layer. Choloroflourocarbon (CFCS) are dangerous because of their destructive reaction with Ozone particles, which provide the Earth with a protective layer or shield against UV radiation. Depletion of the ozone layer begins when when CFC gets into the stratosphere. Sunlight breaks up cfcs releasing Chlorine Atom. Chlorine atoms in turn react with Ozone, starting a chemical cycle that destroys the ozone layer in that area. Once the ozone layer is depleted, there's nothing holding back the harmful UVB wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere causing havoc on plants and animals.</span>
