The tree in Figure 27.1 shows a branching pattern where two species (A and B) are more closely related to each other than to a third species (C). This pattern is also shown in tree C, where A and B are grouped together in a branch that is separate from the branch containing species C. Trees A and B do not show this relationship, and therefore cannot be the correct choice.
