Phylogeny is:
A
Analysis of the evolutionary or ancestral relationships among taxa
B
Classifying animals by structure
C
Analyzing mutations in organisms
D
Determining when animals evolved
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolutionary relationships are the relationships between two different organisms that are related through the global process of evolution. In other words, they are the relationships between two species that have a common ancestor.

Detailed explanation-2: -A phylogenetic tree is a diagram that represents evolutionary relationships among organisms. Phylogenetic trees are hypotheses, not definitive facts. The pattern of branching in a phylogenetic tree reflects how species or other groups evolved from a series of common ancestors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Species can also be defined based on a shared evolutionary history and ancestry. This method of defining species is called phylogenetics, which is the study of the evolutionary relationships among organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -phylogeny, the history of the evolution of a species or group, especially in reference to lines of descent and relationships among broad groups of organisms.
