Answer:

The correct answer would  be option C.

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is used as molecular clock due to many factors such as:

It has very slow mutation rate (around 1 million years) due to which it remains highly conserved in all the organisms. The degree of mutations present in rRNAs of two organisms can be directly linked to the time they were evolved in past.

In addition, it has essential biological function due to which it can be found in almost all the organisms.

List and describe the four types of micro-organisms that cause disease
kherson [118]
Virus: an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
Bacteria: a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some which can cause disease.
Fungi/fungus: any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.
Protozoa: a phylum or group of phyla that comprises the single-celled microscopic animals, which include amoebas, flagellates, ciliates, sporozoans, and many other forms. They are now usually treated as a number of phyla belonging to the kingdom Protista.
