The correct answer is **D: sexual reproduction**.
While sexual reproduction is a mechanism of gene variation that can contribute to evolution, it does not itself provide direct evidence for evolution in the way that fossils, vestigial organs, and DNA similarities do. Fossils provide a historical record of life forms, vestigial organs indicate common ancestry, and DNA similarity shows genetic relationships, all of which are direct evidence of evolutionary processes.
