B Correct answer
Explanation

The passage discusses similarities between great apes and humans. The final sentence comparing blood composition requires establishing similarity, not identity. Blood from different primates is not identical (same would mean exact match), but it shares significant biochemical similarities (similar), making it useful for comparative studies. Related and close are less precise terms in this scientific context.
