• B. Cladistics
• C. Classical evolutionary taxonomy

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cladistics

Cladistics is a strategy of classification in which organisms are grouped together on the basis of the number of shared unique characteristics, that come from the group's last common ancestor and are not present in more distant ancestors. Therefore, members of the same group are thought to share a common history and are considered to be more closely related.

so, the correct answer is 'Cladistics'
