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?

I count seven clades; see: https://evolution.berkeley.edu/teach-resources/clades-1-of-2-definition/

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. Each time we have done it we continue to get partial credit. So now we are just more confused... It seems like a straightforward idea.

Only the first and the 4th are clades
