What can be inferred from the phylogenetic tree shown?

A) Plants existed before bacteria did.
B) Bacteria and Archaea are more related than Eukaryota is to them.
C) None of the statements can be inferred from the phylogenetic tree diagram.
D) Eukaryota derived from this shared common ancestor much later in time than bacteria and archaea did.

Option D

Explanation:

From the phylogenetic tree, it can be deduced that the eukarya were derived from the shared common ancestors much later that the bacteria and archae. This separation was based on rRNA data. The tree also shows that the archae appears to be more closely related to eukaryotes than to other peokaryotes.
