Answer 2

The answer is ancestor in common

Step-by-step explanation:

The Linnaean classification system makes sense about the common ancestor theory: all species belonging to the same group descend from the same ancestor, which means that they share characteristics that place them in the same taxon. The greater the similarities between taxa, the greater the relationship between species and the smaller their difference over time.
