Answer 1

Answer:

Cladistics is a system of classification based on the genetic relationships and evolutionary history of groups of organisms, rather than purely on shared features. It is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized based on shared derived characteristics that can be traced to a group's most recent common ancestor and are not present in more distant ancestors.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
