The genomes of three species of mouse are being sequenced, and a particular DNA sequence found in all three species is found to have a steady mutation rate. The sequence of interest for these three species is shown below:

Species A: ATTCGGATTATTCGAGG
Species B: GTCCGGTTCATTGGACA
Species C: ATCCAGATCGTTCGTGG

Which of the following inferences can be made, based on this information?

A) Species B and Species C most likely diverged from Species A since they both have more mutations than Species A.
B) Species B most likely evolved from Species C since they are closest to each other in terms of number of mutations.
C) Species A and Species C most likely share the most recent common ancestor since they differ by the fewest mutations.
D) Species C most likely diverged from Species A more recently than Species B since Species C has fewer mutations than Species B.

Does anyone know please?
