Solution
The correct option is D Comparative anatomy
Comparative cytology is the field of study involving looking at similarities in different organism's cells. Biochemistry compares DNA and proteins made from DNA. Geology is the study of the Earth. Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species. It is closely related to evolutionary biology and phylogeny (the evolution of species). The study of homologous structures in mature organisms provides evidence for the evolutionary relationships among certain groups of organisms, which comes under comparative anatomy. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
