The piece of evidence that would best support the conclusion that the two species are closely related is:
A DNA analysis shows that these species share 97% of their DNA.
DNA analysis provides direct genetic evidence of the evolutionary relationship between species, and a high percentage of shared DNA indicates that the species are likely to be more closely related in terms of their evolutionary lineage.
