The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Living organisms are of numerous and different species. In the order of classification of living organisms, species is the most exclusive and also represents the smallest. However, an organism can have different species on the basis of shared or common characteristics.
Two species are said to be similar if they share or have more characteristics in common. Likewise, different species have less characteristics in common. Hence, in the case of two pine tree species, which are very similar to each other but very different from a species of palm tree. This implies that the two pine tree species have more characteristics in common than they do with the palm tree species.
