Solution

The correct option is D DNA sequencing
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is based on adaptation and speciation. According to him, phenotypic variation that exists among individuals are inheritable. His study of artificial selection helped in development of theory of evolution. His study of comparative anatomy helped him providing an evidence of evolution in origin of species. This explained the structural differences between species due to evolution by natural selection from a common ancestor. Fossil records also provided evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection. It showed the increase in complexity over the period of time.
Thus, the correct answer is 'DNA sequencing.'
