Similarities between embryos of different species are used as evidence of common ancestry to support Darwin’s theory of evolution. In the late 1800s, Ernst Haeckel published drawings that showed close similarities between the embryos of different animals. These drawings were later exposed as fraudulent because they exaggerated the actual similarities. Which of the following best describes the effect of this fraud on the use of embryo comparisons to support Darwin’s theory of evolution? A. Haeckel’s drawings of embryos with close similarities can still be used to provide support for Darwin’s theory.

B. The fraudulent drawings discredit the use of similarities between actual embryos to support Darwin’s theory.

C. Similarities between actual embryos of different species can still be used as evidence for Darwin’s theory.

D. Differences between actual embryos and embryos in Haeckel’s drawings can be used to disprove Darwin’s theory.
