The statement that best describes the galaxies closest to the Milky Way is:

These galaxies include irregular, spiral, and elliptical types.

This is accurate because the nearest galaxies to the Milky Way, such as the Andromeda Galaxy (a spiral), the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (irregular), and other dwarf galaxies (which can have various shapes) all fit within these classifications.
