A
comparative biochemistry
B
comparative embryology
C
world geography
D
biogeography
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants, animals, and other forms of life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biogeography is the study of the patterns of geographic distribution of organisms and the factors that determine those patterns. This discipline plays a critical role in our understanding of marine mammal evolution and adaptation (Berta et al., 2006).

Detailed explanation-3: -Biogeography is a broad and holistic science that examines spatial patterns of biological diversity. Biogeography is a subfield of the discipline of geography (or biology, depending on area of specialization), the study of the spatial distribution of phenomena over the earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biogeography is the study of the distribution of plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi on Earth both in history and in the present day. There are two subcategories of biogeography; they are phytogeography, which studies the distribution of plants, and zoogeography, which studies the distribution of animals and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through geological time. Organisms and biological communities often vary in a regular fashion along geographic gradients of latitude, elevation, isolation and habitat area.
