Answer: C.) Cladistics is based purely on the shared characters between organisms and their ranking in evolutionary history.

Explanation:

Phylogeny is the evolutionary science which derives a relationship among the ancient species with their descendants based upon common genetic, physiological and morphological characteristics. Cladistics represent the study of a group of organisms which exhibit a common ancestor. A clade includes organisms having a common ancestors and exhibit similar traits in them. A clade is sufficient to include the organisms in a phylogenic tree based upon their evolutionary history.
