Based on the attached Image;
The two species that are likely to have the most similar DNA base sequences are C and D.
An evolutionary tree or a phylogenetic tree, like the one shown on the image is used to indicate which ancestors gave rise to which descendants.

The tips of the tree represents groups of descendant taxa and the nodes represents the common ancestors of these descendants.
