Answer:

Parsimony

Explanation:

Parsimony or maximum parsimony is a simple criteria used to score a phylogenetic tree. This method minimizes the chances of homoplasy in an evolutionary tree.

Parsimony mainly based on the principle that the shortest number of character states changes and the total minimum number of character state changes is preferred in the evolutionary tree.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
