In biology, a SPECIES is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. 

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

Comparative embryology is helpful to identify the evolutionary history at embryo level. Haeckel's explained the comparative evolutionary studies of embryo and explained biogenetic law that ontogeny repeats phylogeny.

Embryological evidence has explained that the embryos of fishes, amphibians, birds, reptiles and mammals look similar and share a common ancestor. Fish, chicken and pig looks similar at the time of embryological development and they all share a common ancestors.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
