Fossils
B
Natural Selection
C
Early Development/Embryos
D

E
DNA/Proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘DNA sequencing. ‘

Detailed explanation-2: -Some types of evidence, such as fossils and similarities between related living organisms, were used by Darwin to develop his theory of natural selection, and are still used today. Others, such as DNA testing, were not available in Darwin’s time, but are used by scientists today to learn more about evolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Natural variation simply refers to the differences among cells, organisms, or groups of species. This does not provide evidence about evolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Natural selection works on populations in response to the existing circumstances, so the survival of species for future and unforeseen scenarios is not required for natural selection.
