Answer:

A. to establish the degree of relatedness among these organisms

Step-by-step explanation:

The more similar the DNA, the greater the degree of relatedness, or the more recent in time the two organisms diverged from a common ancestor. If there is a great difference in DNA sequencing, this suggests that the organisms shared a common ancestor a long time ago.
