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.

If you ever swam in a pool and your eyes began to sting and turn red, you felt the effects of an incorrect pH level. pH measures
Brilliant_brown [7]
Though there's no question in the statement above I would assume that you are asking about the pH of the water that is acidic. The correct statement would be:

Any liquid that has a pH less than 7 is called acidic, a pH above 7 is basic or alkaline. 

The water in the swimming pool has a high acid concentration due to the chlorine which causes the effect of redness in the eyes.
