Answer:

Any combination of D, E and F

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A, B, and C belong to different orders, and D, E and F belong to the same order, the latter are more closely related and thus are expected to show a greater degree of structural homology. They are closer to their common ancestor than A, B and C.
