Solution

The correct option is A True
Classification is the arrangement of organisms into various categories based on similarities and dissimilarities in their characteristics.
Evolution is the process by which diverse life forms are developed from their ancestors.
More similar two organisms are more closely they are related. More chances are there that they have evolved from a common ancestor.
Such similar organisms are most likely to be placed in the same category while classifying.
For example, chimpanzees and humans have more characteristics in common than humans and plants. Hence they would have had a more recent common ancestor and they are both placed in the same kingdom, Animalia.
