**DNA Alignment and Phylogenetic Analysis**

**Introduction:**

The task involves determining the most accurate phylogenetic tree, which reflects the evolutionary relationships among different species based on DNA sequence alignment.

**DNA Alignment Table:**

The table shows the DNA sequences from different species (A, B, C, D, E) across specific positions (130 to 139).

| Species | 130 | 131 | 132 | 133 | 134 | 135 | 136 | 137 | 138 | 139 |
|---------|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| A       | A   | G   | T   | T   | G   | C   | A   | C   | A   | T   |
| B       | A   | C   | T   | C   | G   | C   | A   | C   | A   | T   |
| C       | A   | G   | T   | T   | G   | C   | A   | G   | C   | C   |
| D       | A   | A   | G   | T   | T   | G   | A   | A   | A   | C   |
| E       | A   | A   | G   | T   | T   | G   | A   | C   | A   | G   |

**Phylogenetic Trees:**

The image contains four potential phylogenetic trees, each representing different hypotheses about the evolutionary relationships among the species.

- **Phylogeny 1**
  - Shows Species C diverging first.
  - Then, a common ancestor leading to Species E and A.
  - Followed by Species D and B as closest relatives.

- **Phylogeny 2**
  - Shows Species A diverging first.
  - Followed by a common ancestor for Species C and B.
  - Finally, Species D and E as closest relatives.

- **Phylogeny 3**
  - Shows Species B diverging first.
  - Followed by a common ancestor of Species E and D.
  - Then, a common ancestor leading to Species C and A.

- **Phylogeny 4**
  - Shows Species A diverging first.
  - Then, a common ancestor of Species C and B.
  - Followed by Species E and
