Option B. they share more common ancestors than any other group.

Explanation:

Organisms are classified in one group on the basis of similarities and differences between them. In taxonomy, organisms are placed in one group because they share common ancestors so these organisms are closely related to one another in many characteristics such as shape, appearance and genes.
