Based on the tree below, which statement is correct? A phylogenetic tree of four species. The main branch divides into two branches 2 a and 2 b. Branch 2 a leads to salamander. Branch 2 b divides into two branches 3 a and 3 b. Branch 3 a leads to lizard. Branch 3 b divides into two branches that lead to goat and human. Lizards and goats form a sister group. Goats and humans are the only sister group shown in this tree. Salamanders are a sister group to the group containing lizards, goats, and humans. Salamanders are more closely related to lizards than to humans.

Based on this tree, which statement is correct? A phylogenetic tree of the living organisms. The main branch divides into two branches 2a and 2b. Branch 2a leads to salamander. Branch 2b divides into two branches 3a and 3b. Branch 3a leads to lizard. Branch 3b divides into two branches that lead to goat and human, respectively. (a) - Salamanders are a sister group to the group containing lizards, goats, and humans. (b) - Goats are more closely related to salamanders than to humans. (c) - Salamanders are as closely related to lizards as to humans. (d) - The human lineage is a basal taxon.
