Solution

The correct option is D Water to land
Life emerged in oceans, hence most of the primitive organisms live in water. As the organisms evolved to adapt themselves to terrestrial or land habitat they under went complex changes like internal reproduction, respiration by lungs etc. The presence of gill slits during some stage of embryonic development in land organisms is indicative of evolution from water to land.
So, the correct answer is 'Water to land'
