9) Cladistic diagrams, or cladograms, can be used to show evolutionary relationships. An example of a cladistic diagram appears below. According to the diagram, which of the following animals is most closely related to crocodiles?

In order to answer this question, we would first need to see the cladistic diagram provided in order to determine which animals are closest to crocodiles in terms of evolutionary relationships. Without the actual diagram, it is not possible to determine which animal is most closely related to crocodiles.
