The amount of random chance involved means that it is practically impossible.

Besides that, the course of evolution of one species is influenced by species in the surrounding ecosystem. Symbionts, competitors, parasites, diseases etc. that were present when C evolved to D all have an influence. But those species have also evolved in the mean time. The exact same conditions will never arise again.
