Explanation:

In a cladogram, organisms branch off from a common - ancestor. Sponges are multicellular and amoebas are unicellular. The cladogram shows the evolutionary relationship where sponges are on a branch that diverged after the amoeba branch from the common ancestor. An out - group is a species that is outside the group of interest; dogs are not the out - group here.

Answer:

B. Sponges evolved after amoeba.
