Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree is an imaginary diagram which is used to represent the evolutionary relationship among organism.

It is a form of hypothesis not a definite fact, that the branching of trees reflect how the organism have evolved from the common ancestors.

It shows how two organisms are related to one another and it shows that two organism that have similar characters share more recent common ancestors.
