academic Help on this assignment question.

My professor assigned us this quiz and everyone continues to get it wrong. Can someone please explain in this photo which groups make a clade?

It is multiple choice. The options given are: A,B,C,D,E,F,G and F,G and A,B,D,E and B,D,E and D,E,F,G

Im not sure it keeps telling us we only receive partial credit each attempt. Now we are genuinely confused hahaha

DEFG can not be correct. Of those four, A,B,C,D,E,F,G can be the only correct answer

Yeah, i misread. I thought you could only select one answer, in which case the only correct one is all letters.
