The options attached to the above question are given below:
A. A table of classification that is based only on physical characteristics
B. Eight levels of taxonomic categories that are used to classify organisms
C. A branching chart that depicts evolutionary relationship among organisms
D. Organisms organized based on structure and genetic comparisons
ANSWER
The correct option is C.
A phylogenetic tree refers to a diagram, which represents evolutionary relationships that exist among organisms. Phylogenetic tree has many branches, which represents how different species evolved from a series of common ancestors. The relationships among the living organisms is usually based on the similarities and the differences in their physical or genetic features. A phylogenetic tree can be described as rooted or non rooted based on the depth of information they offer.
