theory of evolution?
A It provides information about the organisms’ habitats.
B It shows possible common ancestry between organisms.
C It provides information to determine the organisms’ ages.
D It shows possible chromosomal similarities between organisms

The correct answer is: **B It shows possible common ancestry between organisms.**
Comparing the skeletons of different animal species can reveal structural similarities that suggest they share a common ancestor. These anatomical similarities, known as homologous structures, provide strong evidence for the theory of evolution, indicating that species have diverged from a common lineage over time.
