Correct answer: The comparison of the DNA of domestic and wild cats in the Middle East caused researchers to conclude that those cats are related.

Why: DNA comparisons showed domestic cats share ancestry with wildcats from the Middle East, so researchers concluded they are related. The other choices misstate the evidence or conclusions in the article (Egyptian artwork comparisons don’t lead to genetic-model conclusions, and DNA was not compared to humans to claim domestication in Cyprus).
