B) Excavata, because the phylogeny indicates this group is not related to any other group in the phylogeny.
C) Unikonta, because the phylogeny indicates that fungi and animals are only partially evolutionarily related to one another.
D) Archaeplastida because the phylogeny indicates that red and green algae have stronger relationships with one another than with land plants.
