Solution

The correct option is B Embryological
The study of embryological development is called as embryology. The embryo of fishes, tortoise, birds, and humans were studied. Although the adult stages of the organisms are different and morphologically the embryos showed resemblances in the early stages. They show the presence of gill slits and tail.
