In the modern classification system, organisms are classified based on evolutionary relationships. The illustration below shows how several groups of organisms are classified. Among the living species, which two organisms are most closely related? a A and G b C and F c B and G d E and F

To determine which two organisms are most closely related based on evolutionary relationships, we would need to see the phylogenetic tree or the classification illustration you mentioned. However, a common way to assess closeness in relationships is to see which organisms share a more recent common ancestor.

Without seeing the specific diagram, I can't directly answer which pair of organisms (A and G, C and F, B and G, or E and F) are most closely related. However, typically, the organisms that branch off closest together on the tree are considered more closely related than those that have a larger divergence.

If you can describe the branching pattern or relationships shown in the illustration, I would be happy to help analyze it further!
