The genetic sequence of a homeotic gene

The genetic sequence of a homeotic gene in two distantly related species is compared and is found to be extremely similar in sequence. What can you infer about this situation?
That the genotype associated with this gene experiences weak directional selection in both species.

That the phenotype associated with this gene experiences different selective pressures in the two species.

That the genotype associated with this gene experiences different selective pressures in the two species.

That the genotype associated with this gene experiences selection in either of the two species.

That the phenotype associated with this gene experiences strong stabilizing selection in both species.

That the phenotype associated with this gene experiences selection in either of the two species.
