Solution

The correct option is D Evidence from DNA extracted from sex chromosomes and autosomes
The evidence suggesting that humans are more closely related to chimpanzees than with other hominoids (old world tailless simian) apes are:

Adult human and baby chimpanzees skull is similar

The banding patterns of chromosome number- 3 and chromosome number- 6 of humans and chimpanzees are identical

99% of genetic material in humans and chimpanzees are the same

ABO blood group series are present in both

Presence of menstrual cycle

Absence of tail

Presence of grasping hand

Thus DNA extracted from sex chromosomes and autosomes indicates that man is more closely related with chimpanzees than with other hominoid apes.
