Statements best describe the cladogram are,
B. Birds and reptiles are most closely related.
D. Frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.
E. Fish are the most primitive.
What are Cladograms?
Cladograms exist as diagrams that depict the connections between various groups of taxa called “clades”. By depicting these connections, cladograms rebuild the evolutionary history (phylogeny) of the taxa. Cladograms can also be named “phylogenies” or “trees”.
In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we maintain a division, one branch reaches to fish and the other goes to a division (a division represents a common ancestor)
Then the fish exist as the most primitive (being directly connected to the first ancestor)., E is true.
We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 partitions (the ancestor in common stands 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two partitions (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely connected to birds than fish.
So D is also true.
We also can see that the only pair that contains only one ancestor in common exists birds and reptiles, so the ones that exist most closely related are birds and reptiles. B stands also true.
