Looking at the data, it would see that chimpanzees and humans are very closely related, but there is not enough information to confirm that they are the same species so B is out.

There is no evidence from the chart to support that sheep and rattles snakes came from the carp so A is out

For D once again the numbers do no support that chimps evolved from sheep. D is out.

By process of elimination, the answer should be C Humans are more closely related to Chimps than Carp.
