Which statement is true about the phylogenetic tree below

Which statement is true about the phylogenetic tree below Slime molds Animals Fungi Spirochetes Proteobacteria Cyanobacteria Planctomyces Bacterioides cytophaga Thermotoga Aquifex Green filamentous bacteria Entamoebae Methanosarcina Gram Methanobacterium Methanococcus T celeer Thermoproteus Pryodictium Halophiles Rooted phylogenetic tree Plants Ciliates Flagellates Trichomonads Microsporidia Diplomonads Bacteria Archea Slime molds Plants Algae Protozoa Animals Crenarchaeota Nanoarchaeota Euryarchaeota Eukarya Fungi Gram Chlamydiae Proteobacteria Green nonsulfur bacteria Actinobacteria Planctomycetes Spirochetes Fusobacteria Cyanobacteria blue green algae Thermophilic sulfate reducers Acidobacteria Unrooted phylogenetic tree Bacteria and Archea have a different common ancestor The length of the branches indicates time Fungi and slime molds are more closely related than plants and animals Branching points stand for the common ancestor of two diverging groups
