Answer:

Option D. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given hypothetical phylogenetic tree, organism A and organism 3 shared the common ancestor "2" and exhibited divergent evolution. Organism "G" evolved from one of the lineages derived from organisms "3". This makes "2" as a most common recent ancestor for organisms "A" and "G".
