Refer to the table. Furnariids are a group of birds consisting of over 290 species found in the neotropics.Researchers constructed the phylogeny (evolutionary tree) for this group and identified five lineages (A to E).They also collected data on the flight performance (high being the strongest fliers), dietary breath (high having the widest diet), and sexual selection (high having the most intense sexual selection).Based on the data, which lineage should have the highest speciation rate?
A) Lineage A
B) Lineage B
C) Lineage C
D) Lineage D
E) Lineage E
