Which of the following clades is most likely to survive a series of catastrophic events over time? (1 point)
A. A clade with a few closely related and similar species.
B. A clade with a few distantly related and diverse species.
C. A clade with many closely related and similar species.
D. A clade with many distantly related and diverse species.
The clade which is most likely to survive a series of catastrophic events over time is D. a clade with many distantly related and diverse species. This is because this will ensure they survive given that they are so different, yet closely related.
