Q. A phylogenetic tree or evolutionary tree is a branching diagram showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species. Which of the following phylogenies is correctly represented?

Plant Kingdom

Solution:

A phylogenetic/evolutionary tree is a branching diagram showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species based upon similarities and differences in their morphological or genetical characteristics. The taxa joined together in the phylogenetic tree are implied to have descended from a common ancestor.
