The most accurate response is:
**The modern system uses molecular characteristics.**
While modern taxonomy indeed considers morphology and common ancestry, the key distinction of the modern classification system (particularly in phylogenetics) is its reliance on molecular data, such as DNA and RNA sequences, to classify organisms and understand their evolutionary relationships.
