c. Very similar primary and tertiary structures.

Explanation:

They both are globular proteins, having oxygen binding sites also named as heme groups. Number of chains are different, as hemoglobin contains 4 polypeptide chains whereas myoglobin contains only one polypeptide chain. But structures and sequences are somewhat similar.
