None of the options are completely correct. A phylogenetic tree is arranged based on evolutionary relationships, with the most closely related organisms grouped together and the most distantly related organisms placed farther apart. The branches of the tree represent the evolutionary history of the organisms, with the common ancestor at the base of the tree and the descendants branching outwards. The direction of time is not necessarily indicated, as the tree can represent both past and present organisms.
