C
similar structures between species
D
where an organism lives
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is: Climate record Evolution is the process through which the traits of a species change over several generations and is based on natural selection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evidence for evolution: anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, fossils, & direct observation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homologous structures provide evidence for common ancestry, while analogous structures show that similar selective pressures can produce similar adaptations (beneficial features). Similarities and differences among biological molecules (e.g., in the DNA sequence of genes) can be used to determine species’ relatedness.
