Which do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dunno .

Okay, so I shall explain. The answer is A. Why? Because linneaus' system of taxonomy would tell you if they are in the same family, share common ancestors, and how close exactly they are. The only way it wouldn't work is if these reptile like animals are newly discovered. But yeah go with A.
