Explanation / Answer

Answer: Choice 1

Reason: The relatedness of two or more organisms across the evolution is based upon the closeness of the characters they share along with physical, physiological and genetic similarities. This closeness/relatedness is usually depicted on the cladogram by their mutual placement over it. In this regard, kangaroo and squirrel and more related to each other than other organisms since both are mammals and thus share the typical features of mammals, such as presence of placenta, feeding the young ones on their own, body hair, protruded toe etc.
