Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	1 only
B	1 and 2
C	1, 2, and 3
D	1, 2, 3, and 4

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Homologous features are examples of divergent evolution where species share a common ancestor (such as horse and human; both mammals).

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA and the genetic code reflect the shared ancestry of life. DNA comparisons can show how related species are. Biogeography. The global distribution of organisms and the unique features of island species reflect evolution and geological change.
