Answer: Both are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josiah and Maleek both of the boys are correct because cladogram and phylogenetic tree both shows the evolutionary relationship among organisms.

A cladogram only represents the branching pattern which means that its length do not represents the time, internal nodes do not represent ancestors.

The phylogentic tree whereas represents the similarities and differences in their genetic or physical characters.

It states that all the life on earth is a part of tree and shows common ancestry.
