All answers are correct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolutionary biology is a field of science that studies the evolution of the organisms that form the biodiversity on earth. It includes all the fields of biology like genetics, systematics, ecology, and paleontology.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evolutionary biologists often work at the interface of many subdisciplines of biology, leading to the development of subject areas such as behavioral evolution, evolutionary developmental biology, evolutionary ecology, evolutionary genetics, evolutionary morphology, evolutionary systematics, and molecular evolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evolutionary biologists have continued to study various aspects of evolution by forming and testing hypotheses as well as constructing theories based on evidence from the field or laboratory and on data generated by the methods of mathematical and theoretical biology.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evolutionary biology is a branch of biology where scientists examine the evolutionary processes (natural selection, common descent, and speciation) that led to the current biodiversity of organisms on our planet.

Detailed explanation-5: -Evolution is the change in heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every biological organization level. All life on earth shares a common ancestor known as the last universal ancestor.
