Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Phylogeny (Gr. Phylon - tribe or race, geneia = origin) is the origin and diversification of any taxon or the evolutionary history of its origin and diversification. It is usually represented as a diagrammatic phylogenetic tree (that traces putative evolutionary relationships). i.e., dendrogram. Palaentology is the study of fossils. Ontogeny is the whole course of an individual's development and life history.
