The correct answer is C. Evolutionary relationships, as molecular clocks are used to estimate how long ago different species diverged from a common ancestor based on genetic data. They rely on the rate of mutations in DNA to determine these timeframes. This helps scientists understand the evolutionary connections between various organisms.
