Answer;

B. Classification can change with new discoveries and evidence.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Classifying organisms on the basis of descent from a common ancestor is called phylogenetic classification

-A phylogenetic tree is a visual representation of the relationship between different organisms, showing the path through evolutionary time from a common ancestor to different descendants. Trees can represent relationships ranging from the entire history of life on earth, down to individuals in a population.
