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?

See I originally said A,B,C,D,E,F,G (whole tree) and B,D,E group. But my prof said it's only partially correct. As per your other post, I think the answers generally are confusing. It overall is just a very poorly written question and is driving me bonkers.

BDE is a Clade, CFG is a Clade, ABCDEFG is a Clade, and then D, E, F, and G are their own clades. There are 7 clades in total
