The BEST characteristic to use for classifying an unknown organism would be **A. bone structure**. Bone structure is a key feature in understanding the taxonomy and evolutionary relationships among organisms, especially in vertebrates. Age, number of offspring, and color can vary significantly among individuals and may not provide reliable information for classification purposes.
