Sophie says dolphins and sharks look very similar, so they must be related. Jake disagrees, saying DNA evidence has shown that dolphins and other aquatic mammals are actually more closely related to the ancestors of modern hippos. Who is correct using the modern system of classification?

A. Jake is correct because classification is based on evolutionary relationships.
B. Both are correct because traditional and modern classifications can overlap.
C. Neither is correct because neither is taking into account both the traditional and modern classifications.

Jake is correct because modern classification is based on evolutionary relationships, which demonstrate that dolphins are more closely related to hippos than to sharks. The similarities in their body shapes arise from adaptations to similar environments rather than from direct evolutionary links. Thus, DNA evidence supports Jake's claim about their classification.
