Question
Circle the sister group to the following clades: Protostomia – Label “D” Bilateria – Label “E”
The image displays a phylogenetic tree illustrating the evolutionary relationships among various animal phyla. The tree is structured as follows:

1. **Porifera** - Representing the earliest branch.
2. **Cnidaria** - Diverges after Porifera.
3. A clade splits into two branches:
   - **Brachiopoda**
   - **Bryozoa**
4. **Mollusca** - Branches off independently after the Brachiopoda and Bryozoa clade.
5. **Arthropoda** - Forms its own branch following Mollusca.
6. A final clade splits into:
   - **Echinodermata**
   - **Chordata**

The diagram visually represents the evolutionary lineage and speciation events, showing how species are grouped based on common ancestors. The branching pattern indicates a shared evolutionary history, with more closely related groups branching off more recently from shared nodes.
