Five different phylogenetic trees of a group of wild tomato species have been proposed.Trees A and B each require 16 homoplasies, but tree A requires 20 synapomorphies and tree B requires 22 synapomorphies.Tree C requires 17 homoplasies and 12 synapomorphies.Tree D requires 14 homoplasies and 21 synapomorphies.Finally, tree E requires 19 homoplasies and 11 synapomorphies.According to the principle of parsimony, which tree is the best?
