d) Fungi and Amoebae are likely to have evolved from the same ancestor. Both fungi and amoebae are classified as eukaryotes and share certain similarities in their genetic makeup and cellular structure, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. Fish and birds, on the other hand, evolved along different branches of the tree of life and are not closely related.
