Use the principle of parsimony and molecular genetic data to choose a phylogenetic tree for your hypothesis of how the extant species were derived from the ancestor.

Use the principle of parsimony and molecular genetic data to choose a phylogenetic tree for your hypothesis of how the extant species were derived from the ancestor. A)Tree 1 requires the most mutations,making it the best choice. B)Tree 1 requires the fewest mutations,making it the best choice. C)Tree 2 requires the most mutations,making it the best choice. D)Tree 2 requires the fewest mutations,making it the best choice. E)Both trees are equally good because sequences A,B,C,and D are the same in both.
