Leech and Earthworm.
Reason: leeches and earthworms are both annelids (same phylum), so their conserved gene sequences will be the most similar (fewest amino‑acid differences). If you want me to verify from the table, paste the amino‑acid sequences and I will count the differences and give percent identity.
