This is the only option that can be inferred from the evolutionary tree. Green algae and plants are grouped together in the same branch (Plantae), while diplomonads are in a separate branch (Excavata). This suggests that green algae and plants share a common ancestor more recently than they do with diplomonads, and so their DNA should share more similarities with each other than with diplomonads. The other options are not supported by the information provided in the tree.
