Hello, everyone here. We have a question saying two organisms within the same blank likely share a recent common ancestor in their evolutionary history a species that is the very basic unit of classification. So it is not species be variety that is not a unit of classification. C. Genus after species and before family is genus. So two organisms within the same genus do likely share a common a recent common ancestor in their evolutionary history. So see geniuses correct. D order is incorrect. So our answer here is C. Genus. Thank you for watching. Bye.
