Answer:

d. homoplasy

Explanation:

Homoplasy is a term used to describe physical character or attributes shared by organisms who do not share a common ancestor.

Paralogs are duplicated genes within the same genome.

Xenologs are similar genes found in different organisms as a result of horizontal transfer of the genes.

Analogs has varied meaning but none describes evolutionary relationship

orthologs are genes carried by different organisms which evolved as a result of speciation from a common ancestor.

Only homoplasy describes evolutionary relationship.
