Solution

The correct option is A Phylogeny
Phylogeny (Gr. Phylum = tribe or race; genia = origin) is the origin and diversification of any taxon or the evolutionary history of its origin and diversification. It is usually represented as a diagrammatic phylogenetic tree (that traces putative evolutionary relationships) i.e., dendrogram.
