Answer: The correct answer is -

C) Evolutionary relationships.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of living organisms that possess genetic information in the form of nucleotide sequences (which comprises of codon, that is a sequence of three nucleotides) .

It is transferred from one generation to another generation.

More is DNA sequence similarity between two organsisms, higher is the chances of their descending from common ancestor.

Therefore, DNA sequence of different organisms can be compared in order to find their evolutionary relationships.

Thus, option C) is the right answer.
