Is this an idiom Question?

resemblance of Wolves with Dogs. I am confused whether it encompasses the resemblance of dogs with wolves :(

resemblance between W and D does not have that ambiguity.

I am not 100% sure whether my reasoning is correct or not

What is OA? Is it C or D

Even more striking makes me feel that the resemblance was found in the past and is continuing to rise. Has become makes sense if I can consider that as an event started in the past.

Wicked Them is ambiguously referring to researchers??

So it looks like D is better.

Does this also mean that present perfect is wrong here?

Idiomatically, we say "the close resemblance of a TO b", not "a WITH b".

Alternatively, we can say "the close resemblance BETWEEN a AND b".
