Answer:

A. similarities among organisms in their proteins and nucleic acids.

Step-by-step explanation:

Presence of some common genes that have been conserved during the course of evolution leads to presence of shared proteins in otherwise diverse organisms. Since genes are expressed in form of protein and protein regulate the morphological expression of organisms; presence of common protein in organisms give them morphological similarities.
