Solution

The correct option is D The fossil record
Evidences of evolution have been obtained through fossil records and studies in the fields of embryology, biogeography and molecular biology. However, fossil records directly highlight the differences and similarities between the current and extinct species, showing the evolution of form over time. Hence it serves as the most direct evidence of evolution.
