Verified Answer :

it would have to be the last statement

Answer:

The more similar the embryonic development of two species, the more closely they are related

Explanation:

According to the biogenetic law, the stages of embryological development of organisms of a species represents the stages of their evolution. Hence, if two organisms from two species share common or similar stages of embryonic development, they are supposed to be more closely related to each other in terms of evolution. It represents the embryological evidence of evolution and sets the phylogenetic relationship between species.
