Examine the cladogram shown below. Which of the following pairs of species had the most recent common ancestor

Question

A) seal and lion

B) lion and deer

C) deer and hagfish

D) seal and lizard

E) lion and hagfish

Answer 1

I don't see a cladogram.  However, the answer has to be either A or B.

P.S.  After reviewing mammalian evolution, I think that A is the most likely answer because seals and lions are both in the order Carnivora, whereas Deer are in a different order (Artiodactyla).

Answer 2

We need to see the cladogram.
