    B. Red pandas and raccoons share a more recent common ancestor

    than red pandas and giant pandas.

    Explanation:

    DNA sequencing is finding the sequence of base pairs in an organism's DNA, and it's often used to compare with other organisms. The more base pairs that are the same, the more similar the two organisms are, and this means that they share a more recent common ancestor.

    We can't make any conclusions like C and D because we just don't have enough data to conclude that one descended from the other.
