There are a group of 13 related species of birds on a group of about 20 isolated oceanic islands. These species are grouped into four oubgroups with subgroup 1 evolving to species), subgroup 2 evolving second (1 species), subgroup 3 evolving third (5 species), and subgroup 4 evolving last (6 species. I subgroup 4 evolved most recently, then which the following statements is the most logical prediction?

a) The genomes of subgroup 4 should be more similar to each other than to the genomes of subgroup 3.
b) The chances of hybridization between two subgroup 4 species should be less than the chances of hybridization between two subgroup 3 species
c) The species of subgroup 4 should share tower anatomical homologies with each other than they share with the species of subgroup 4.
d) Subgroup 4 should be limited to the six islands that most recently emerged from the sea.
