Animal A and Animal B each have 95% of their DNAin common. Animal A and Animal C each have 50% of their DNA in common. What does this suggest about the relationship of these animals? C is probably much more closely related to B than to A. A is probably much more closely related to B than to C. B is probably much more closely related to C than to A. A is probably much more closely related to C than to B.

95% in common is greater than 50% in common. So, A and B are closer the B and C.
So, the answer is B.

I hope that helps
