Ans. (C). cladograms are detailed oriented and impossible to show evolutionary relationships.

Cladistics can be defined as a method to biological classification, by which organisms are categorized in different groups on the basis of most common recent ancestor.

Cladograms only provide relations between different organisms on the basis of physical appearance and do not show genetic constitute of organisms.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
