Answer 1

The correct option is B Cladistics

• Cladistics is one of the three schools of systematics that determines the degree of relatedness by analysing the primitive and derived characters and constructs the cladogram.
  
• Cladistics is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized in groups based on the most recent common ancestor. A key feature of a clade is that a common ancestor and all its descendants are part of the clade.
• In Cladistics to show relations among organisms, cladogram is used. Cladistics is now the most commonly used methods to classify organisms.
